From the ancient tear – a time obtained for liquid percepts through the plots of the Iuta bags that contained the bunches of Negroamaro – then replaced by the vinification by hat : after the branch, the pressing grapes are left to ferment and await that the solid part, made up of the skins, stands out the surface to form what con the jargon is called the hat; Fiore, the slightly colorful must, which ends fermentation.
