Ruffino follows a strict protocol to make this sparkling wine. After harvest, the grapes are cooled and gently pressed to preserve their qualities. The must ferments until it reaches an alcohol content of about 9.5% vol. The wine is stabilized and filtered before undergoing dealcoholization. This process uses an innovative membrane technology designed to remove alcohol selectively and gently. Ethanol molecules, which are smaller and more volatile than most of the other compounds present in the wine, pass through the membrane more easily, while the aromatic components are largely preserved. Unlike other dealcoholization methods, the process takes place at room temperature, avoiding any thermal stress and helping to maintain the product’s sensory balance. A sparkling wine with a fine and persistent perlage is only obtained after the slow addition of food grade CO₂.
