Traditional Winemaking Process
Poggio la Macchia is produced following traditional winemaking techniques that enhance Grechetto’s characteristics:
Cellar Processing:
- Immediate destemming and crushing of freshly harvested grapes
- Extended maceration: must fermentation in contact with skins for approximately 20 days, a technique that provides structure, aromatic complexity, and greater longevity
- Controlled malolactic fermentation after racking to soften acidity and round the taste profile
- Aging in large barrels: 10 months in wood according to Umbrian tradition, developing elegance and complexity without overwhelming varietal character
- Bottle aging: approximately 12 months of rest to harmonize all components
