Winemaking:

The classic Ventiquattronodi method is the result of careful selection of the grapes and skilful vinification conducted in full compliance with the working method of the La Badiola farm. The grapes, freshly picked by hand in small boxes, are classified and cooled. After soft pressing, in the absence of oxygen, the must of the wine ferments in steel tanks. After 10 months from the harvest, the vintage wine is drawn which, thanks to the addition of sugars, gives it creaminess and a particular profile, elegant and soft, further strengthened by a long refinement in the bottle. The dégorgement takes place in the absence of oxygen to avoid oxidative shocks and further additions of sulphites.
