For this wonderfully balanced varietal wine from Osteria, only the best grapes were harvested. After hand-picking, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are selected and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the Merlot can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for several months.
