How wine is made: from grape to bottle

Wine is one of the most important symbols of Italian culture and tradition. Behind every bottle there is a fascinating process that combines nature, craftsmanship and knowledge.

Understanding how wine is made helps visitors appreciate the work behind each glass of wine.

Harvesting the grapes

The winemaking process begins with the harvest, when grapes are picked at the perfect moment of ripeness.

The timing of the harvest plays a crucial role in determining the quality of the wine.

Fermentation

After harvesting, grapes are processed and the juice begins the fermentation process.

During fermentation, natural sugars are converted into alcohol, creating wine.

Aging the wine

After fermentation, wine may age for a period of time to develop more complex aromas and structure.

Wine and territory

Wine reflects the characteristics of the region where it is produced. Climate, soil and local traditions all influence the final result.

Wine tastings allow visitors to discover these elements and better understand the culture of wine.
