The grapes are destemmed but with many whole berries remaining intact; the fermentation with native yeasts and maceration in concrete is long and slow, as is the gentle pressing to get to the core of each berry (where Dora feels the sweetest part of the fruit lies). The wine is aged in botti for three years before release. Sanguineto's Vino Nobile is exactly their Rosso di Montepulciano, simply aged longer.
