Ageing methods used for Maestro

In Stainless Steel (7–18 months)

Ageing in stainless steel for between 7 and 18 months is a winemaking choice aimed at obtaining more structured, complex wines, while retaining the varietal purity and aromatic precision typical of an inert material. Unlike short ageing periods, here the wine is left to mature for longer in stainless steel so that it stabilises naturally, develops slowly and gains greater balance, without any aromatic interference from wood or oxidation.
