After the tirage process with the start of a slow second fermentation in bottles, according to the traditional Franciacorta method, the bottles are stacked for at least 42 months. After the disgorgement stage, with the addition of an extremely dry liqueur de dosage (2g/liter), the Franciacorta undergoes another fining period in the wine cellar for several months.

In the secular park is located the underground wine-cellar, where the fermentation processes and the slow aging of Franciacorta take place.
