TECHNIQUES
In order to favour the overripe on the plant , at the beginning of October , the stem of clusters is twisted. This way the vital lymph’s flux for clusters is arrested and they slowly dry. The grapes will then be harvested at the beginning of November, with the selection on the spot of the noble rot suitable to our Passito style.
