Amphora Vinification

Amphora winemaking is a process that has ancient origins from the Middle East.
Fermentation is carried out in terracotta amphorae, in which the process of “follatura,” which consists of soaking the pomace in its own must, several times a day, is performed.
Once fermentation is complete, the amphorae are closed with stainless steel lids, allowing the skins to macerate.
The great micro-oxygenation of the terracotta is balanced with the polyphenols extracted from the skins, thus creating a wine with special characteristics.
