Grifone Collection

The Grifone Collection line stands out for the adoption of cutting-edge winemaking techniques that define its sensory profile and positioning.

• Winemaking in Reduction: This innovative technique is a cornerstone of the Grifone Collection. Its main purpose is to counteract the oxidation of the must and wine during the crucial stages of production. It is a revolutionary approach particularly effective for the production of white and rosé wines, as it preserves the aromatic freshness and respects the varietal characteristics of the grape. The methodology involves the use of inert gases, such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen, to maintain the original characteristics of the grape, including the aromatic profile, acidity, and sugar level. A significant benefit of this technique compared to conventional methods, which rely on the use of sulfur dioxide to combat oxidation, is the notable reduction in the use of such additives. This not only improves food safety but also enriches the expressiveness of the wine, allowing the intrinsic aromas and flavors of the grape variety used to emerge more clearly. Winemaking in reduction also refines the pressing and must transfer processes by creating an oxygen-protected environment.
• Refined Blending: The collection benefits from sophisticated blending techniques. This process allows for the harmonious combination of different grape varieties or wine batches to achieve the desired complexity, balance, and stylistic profile. Through blending, it is possible to enhance the best qualities of each component, creating a final wine that surpasses the sum of its parts.
• Aging in Wood: Aging in wood is another fundamental technique for the Grifone Collection, which significantly contributes to its luxurious character. This process, which can include the use of barriques or larger barrels, allows for the softening of tannins, the addition of complex tertiary aromas (such as vanilla, spices, toasted notes), and the improvement of the wine’s structure and longevity. The interaction between the wine and the wood brings greater depth and harmony to the sensory profile.
