Fermentation:The wine is a combination of three fermentations. The Barbera (100% destemmed) and Merlot (50% whole cluster) co-fermented with native yeast. The Freisa (50% whole cluster) fermented by itself. The Mourvedre, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, and Sagrantino were directly pressed to tank for spontaneous co-fermentation. Punch downs were done twice daily. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel vats. The wine was blended and then aged until bottling. No additions, including sulfites, were added. The wine was not fined or filtered.
