The grapes are carefully collected into small crates, ready to be transported to the press in San Marzano. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are gently pressed, releasing the deep black juice into the barrels. For the aging of this Gran Trio, San Marzano uses French oak barrels, where the wine rests for four to five months. This period is crucial for the Gran Trio Rosso, as it allows the wine to develop its rich flavors and develop into a velvety smooth wine.
