Cantine Maschio just carries out a single alcoholic fermentation, in order to maintain as far as possible the freshness, aromas and natural fruitiness of the grape must.The result is a wine with an extremely low sulfur dioxide content and with an enhanced lightness of flavor, which makes it very attractive and easy to drink. Only the must from the first pressing, the “mosto fiore” or free-run juice, is used. As the "mosto fiore" is very delicate it should not come into contact with oxygen because the sugars would oxidize and this would lead to the loss of valuable aromatic components. It is therefore allowed to clear for 12 hours at a controlled temperature of 2° C; yeast from the Conegliano area is then added to start the alcoholic fermentation. The process of making the wine bubbly is carried out in pressurized tanks, and lasts for about 4 weeks. After cold stabilization, it is bottled and ready to be drunk. Charmat method: first fermentation in stainless-steel tanks, and second fermentation in autoclave, at controlled temperature. The production of Maschio sparkling wine starts from a base of dry wine combined with a percentage of must and stored at low temperature in temperature controlled tanks. Then we add sugar and selected yeasts which, by fermenting at controlled temperature, convert sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The sparkling wine so obtained is then centrifuged to remove the yeasts that now are no longer needed at this stage, it is stabilized and then filtered and then ready to be bottled.
