## Wine making process

La Casa di Bricciano Sangiovese Bianco is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes. The key winemaking technique involves immediately pressing the grapes after harvest to separate the juice from the skins, thus producing a white wine. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 15°C. After fermentation, the wine ages in stainless steel for about six months. The grapes are harvested manually. The producer adheres to organic farming practices.
