The policy at Palazzone is to maintain the grape growing and wine making traditions that have made Orvieto wines famous. At Palazzone we have grafted on to these traditions carefully selected modern techniques to enable us to reach even higher levels of quality than were possible in the past.
Producing excellent grapes is not enough to ensure excellent wine. Winemaking also demands personal passion and constant attention to detail and this is an essential part of our Palazzone operation.

		Harvesting of the grapes is carried out by hand only during the coolest hours and bunches are carefully selected to ensure that we only use those that will preserve their aromatic potential.
		Once picked our grapes are taken immediately to the cellar and vinified using modern soft-pressing devices.
		The musts are rapidly cooled in stainless steel tanks and sediments are removed.
		The clear musts, inoculated with selected yeasts, start fermenting and a desirable temperature level is maintained by means of a refrigerating system that is fed by our own cool spring water.
		Prior to bottling the wines are decanted and filtered to ensure that no spoilage has occurred and at the same time they are subjected to chemical analysis and tasting to determine quality.
		After being bottled several of our wines are aged in bottles for some months during which they are stored in our underground tufa grottoes so as to maintain optimum climatic conditions.
