VERNACCIA DI SERRAPETRONA Sweet
Unique. This red sparkling wine, which we produce in both dry and sweet versions, is the only one in the world to be produced with triple fermentation. The grapes, in fact, are vinified
1. immediately after the harvest
2. at the end of the drying process
3. in autoclave for frothing
The regulations stipulate a minimum use of grapes from drying of 40%, but in our case the percentage always exceeds 50.
In the distant past, the third fermentation took place spontaneously in the bottle as temperatures rose in the spring and the wine, more or less mellow, was sweet in the mouth. Today, the process has been modernised and systematised thanks to the Martinotti method, laid down in the DOCG regulations. Precisely because of its uniqueness, the producers are working to have it valorised through recognition as intangible cultural heritage by Unesco.
