English: Vinification & Aging: After manual harvesting and careful selection in the cellar, the grapes were transferred to thermo-conditioned stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation and maceration took place, lasting approximately 20 days. The fermentation temperature was managed according to the level of ripeness of the grapes: lower temperatures were chosen to maintain greater aromatic freshness, and higher temperatures, up to approximately 30 °C, to emphasize polyphenolic extraction and structure. The different lots, divided by characteristics, were transferred to barriques where they completed malolactic fermentation by the end of the year. The best lots were assembled and transferred back to barriques, 10% new and 90% second passage, for a further 12 months of maturation at the end of which the wine was bottled. Cont'Ugo then refined in the bottle for 3 months before being released onto the market.
