## Wine making process

Vinolio 4 Bulli Bubbel Mousserande vin is produced using the ancestral method, also known as 'rifermentato in bottiglia'. This involves spontaneous fermentation, where native yeasts are utilized. Following initial fermentation in steel tanks, the wine undergoes a second fermentation directly in the bottle, creating its effervescence. Minimal intervention is a key principle, with the wine often made without added sulfites. It is aged in the bottle for at least 6-8 months. The vineyards are managed using organic farming practices.
