Vinification
After a thorough selection of the grapes, the stems are removed. The grapes are dried briefly, to give more concentration to the wine. This explains the name: passito means dried grapes, lento is slow. The must remains in contact with the pellets for a week at a controlled temperature of 24-25 °. After the fermentation process, part of the wine matures in French barriques, another in stainless steel cuves.
