Vinification
The southern location of the vineyards, the 'white' lime-rich soil, the low production per hectare and the traditional way of harvesting are among other things the secret of these high-quality wines. The wine first fermentes in a closed tank, so that CO2 goes into solution. The tank is then opened to continue fermenting until the desired alcohol percentage is reached. Then the sparkling wine is cooled. Due to the cold, fermentation is interrupted, so that the alcohol content is kept low (5.5 vol%) and residual sugar remains.

About Tacchino
Monferrato is traditionally a famous wine region, in the Piedmont in Italy, where the vineyards cover the hills like a blanket. The Tacchino winery (around 25 hectares, half of which are planted with vines) is in the heart of this green area. The domain has the shape of a natural amphitheater, which protects the vineyards against the cold northern wind from the Alps. The southern location of the vineyards, the 'white' lime-rich soil, the relatively low production per hectare and the traditional way of harvesting are among other things the secret of these high-quality wines.
