The grapes are collected, pressed and passed through the initial fermentation. Then the yeast and sugar are added to start the second stage of fermentation. That is the main reason why it is fizzy. After this process, the bottles are kept horizontally for at least 15 months of ageing. As the saying goes- the older the liquor, the more hypnotic it is. Afterwards, the dead yeast is removed from the bottle, small quantities of sugar are added according to the dosage. Then the final packing is done and the bottles are sealed by inserting a cork.
