The processing of Canto del Grillo generally begins in the first week of September when the grapes, having reached ripeness, are ready to be harvested. After being selected and cut, the bunches are transported to the cellar, then destemmed and crushed. Fermentation begins spontaneously by indigenous yeasts. The maceration phase lasts for about 12 days, during which the skins gradually release their pigments and the characteristic aromas of Grillo to the wine. Throughout the process, no corrections or additives are made, thus maintaining the product's authenticity and naturalness.
