- Vinification
grapes are vinified separately. Once destemmed and crushed, a soft pressing takes place. Musts are then carefully clarified and alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature follows. It settles on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks for some months. Only at the end of this ageing process, is the Custoza "blend" fulfilled.
