Sistina Vino Rosso

A time-honored winemaking history, handed down over the generations, ensures the enduring health and prosperity of the Abruzzo environment, culture and traditions. Three thousand families of winegrowers are the stewards of a centuries-old art of viticulture, renewed with every coming generation.

Wine Production

On ripe grapes are made cultivation operations such as stripping and cutting of the stalks in order to induce over- ripening and increase the noble substances of the grape (e.g. increasing of polyphenols and sugars), to give a higher concentration. After the period of overripening the grapes are harvested and vinified traditionally with a long maceration of the skins at controlled temperature. The wine, after racking, once malolactic fermentation is complete, decants into stainless steel tanks and wooden barrels.
