Manual harvest for Boscarelli De Ferrari

Boscarelli Farms has established itself as a renowned producer of quality wines in the region.

The grapes are harvested entirely by hand at peak ripeness. After picking, the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed to release the juice. The resulting must is then transferred to steel vats for fermentation. A key aspect of this process is the use of indigenous yeasts, meaning that the natural yeasts on the grapes themselves initiate fermentation. This contributes to the unique flavor profiles and the expression of the terroir in the final wine. The grapes ferment in steel vats for about a week. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months in cement vats.
