- Vinification
- Spontaneous fermentation from indigenous yeasts via a pied de cuve: the fermenting batch is used as a starter for the remaining must, similar to baking with sourdough. Developed over more than three years of research; initial trials with maceration on the skins of the whole mass produced oxidative musts with little typicity. In 2015 Francesca adopted the pied de cuve technique for better control of native-yeast fermentation.
