Fermentation occurs spontaneously, with indigenous yeasts, in concrete vats, where skin contact (maceration) lasts about two weeks. Once fermentation is complete, the wine ages for several months still in concrete tanks, a material that does not impart flavors and helps preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit. Bottling takes place without heavy filtration, to maintain the intact character of the grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNero di Lupo\u003c\/strong\u003e is a wine that captivates with its balance of freshness, intensity, and drinkability.
