Fermentation starts spontaneously thanks to the exclusive use of \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e, accompanied by a carefully measured skin maceration of about three days, which gives structure and texture to the palate. Subsequently, the wine matures for around sixteen months in \u003cstrong\u003eneutral fibreglass tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e, a deliberate technical choice that encourages slow stabilisation without altering the original varietal expression. This rigorous attention in the cellar ensures \u003cstrong\u003eabsolute gustatory precision\u003c\/strong\u003e, confirmed by high scores from international wine critics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrank Cornelissen's Munjebel Bianco enhances the terroir of Calderara, Crasà and Picciolo.
