Production Details Hand-picked and destemmed. Approximately 80 days of skin contact with manual cap wetting, followed by approximately four years in large used botti and approximately six months in concrete. The importer reports residual sugar below 3 g/L and acidity as 0.53 g/L but does not state the acid-equivalent basis; these values are therefore retained here rather than emitted as exact canonical analytical claims.
