Winemaking Manual harvesting of the grapes which are de-stemmed, crushed and left to macerate for about 10/15 days in concrete tanks. During this period, a series of pumping over every other day and a delestage are performed. These operations are used to promote oxygenation and to facilitate the passage of color and tannin. Then, at the end of the period where the must remained in contact with the skins, the racking takes place. The must obtained is placed in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The aging of the wine will continue in the stainless steel tanks until bottling which usually takes place at the end of July and beginning of August

The Story

Franconia, also known as Blaufränkisch, is a grape variety native to Nieder-Österreich (Lower Austria), from where it spread to some wine-growing areas of France, Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia and Slovenia. Some recent research attests to its cultivation in Italy as early as 1500; in Friuli its presence has been documented since 1879.
