Grape Varieties 100% Fiano Vinification The grapes are manually harvested in mid-August. The grapes are de-stemmed and the resultant must is rapidly chilled to 46°F on its way to the press. Some portions of the fruit are given skin contact in order to extract flavor and body. After a very gentle press, the juice is cold settled prior to fermentation with selected yeasts at 59 – 64°F in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.
