These conditions favor the cultivation of Sangiovese and other indigenous grape varieties, contributing to the wine’s distinctive character.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; Percentage Used:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e The 2021 vintage of Duelame is composed predominantly of Sangiovese, complemented by small percentages of Canaiolo and Malvasia Nera.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e After destemming, the grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel vats, where they remain on the skins until late winter.
