Vinification
Gentle pressing of the grapes is carried out using a Marmonnier press in the historic Gancia cellars, where only the finest part of the must is selected for vinification. The must from each press cycle and batch is then fermented in both barriques and stainless-steel tanks, until the cuvée is prepared and tirage takes place for the secondary fermentation in the bottle on the lees.
Production process
Traditional Classic Method, with a secondary fermentation in the bottle lasting around 40 days. The sparkling wine is then aged for at least 30 months in the cool, temperature-controlled cellars of Casa Gancia.
