Vinification of the Villa Sparina Montej Rosso Monferrato This balanced red wine from Italy is made from the Barbera grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Piedmont. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into soils of limestone and clay. Once perfect physiological ripeness is ensured, the grapes for the Montej Rosso Monferrato are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective harvesters. After the harvest, the grapes are transported to the press house as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
