Grapes from the Trebbiano vineyards are are harvested at the peak of ripeness, immediately pressed and then the 'must' is left to ferment in open top barrels until it has reduced to two thirds its quantity. At this stage the must is described as 'cooked'. Next it is then put into oak barrels where it stands in the cool and dark 'attics'. Each year it is transferred into different barrels from which it draws different characteristics. During this time the balsamic gradually becomes sweeter and more syrupy.	£6.80
