Whole clusters undergo soft pressing to extract the must, which is then stored in temperature-controlled tanks until fermentation. Secondary fermentation occurs at 15-16°C to preserve the fresh aromas of the harvest. Once the desired alcohol and sugar levels are achieved, fermentation is halted through refrigeration. The wine then rests on the lees for a brief period before bottling, enhancing its complexity and mouthfeel. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe 2023 “Rive di San Pietro di Barbozza” Extra Brut presents a pale straw yellow hue with an intense, fine, and persistent perlage.
