Winemaking

Manually harvested at optimum phenolic ripeness, followed by crushing, de-stemming, added cultured yeasts and maceration for 6 to 7days, then it is drawn off the lees. Pumped over 3 to 4 times daily. Primary fermentation, is followed by racking, light clarification to stabilize the  proteins and subsequent filtration.. Bottling is carried out several times per year to maintain freshness. The wine is cold stabilized to avoid precipitation of tartaric acid and bottled following aseptic filtration.

Giol is the oldest bonded winery in Italy, registered in 1427, and has been organically farming since 1986.
