Vinification of the Secco weiß - Weingut Hiss The grapes for this exquisite Secco are cultivated in selected vineyards within the region characterized by intensive vinification. The grapes grow in calcareous soils that lend the wines their freshness and minerality. The harvest takes place in the early morning hours to best preserve the freshness and fruit flavors. After traditional hand-picking, the grapes are quickly processed in the winery to prevent oxidation and retain vibrant fruitiness. In vinification, the Weingut Hiss relies on gentle pressing, where the grapes are pressed softly. Fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures to preserve the aromatic diversity. The base wine is then prepared for bottle fermentation, during which the second fermentation takes place in the bottle. This process gives the Secco its characteristic effervescence and fine freshness. A longer maturation on the lees adds additional complexity and a pleasant creaminess without compromising the freshness. After bottle fermentation, the bottles remain in the cellar for several months to fine-tune the balance between fruitiness and perlage. The result is a multi-layered, lively sparkling wine that delights with its harmonious play of fruit, minerality, and bubbles.
