In stainless steel (19-36 months)
Ageing in stainless steel for 19–36 months is a winemaking choice aimed at preserving the aromatic freshness of the wine, avoiding any influence from wood and maintaining varietal purity. This long period of maturation in inert, neutral containers such as stainless steel allows the wine to stabilise, harmonise and develop greater complexity without losing fragrance. It is a technique typical of structured, long-lived whites, but also used for reds and sparkling wines that focus on aromatic cleanliness and freshness.
