"If you want to enter Ripatransone, only the Castellano will be able to let you pass." It is said that once upon a time, to protect one of the city gates, a knight covered in his face forever memorized the face of each customer, recognizing at a glance their good or bad intentions. Benevolent, but dressed in armor and a shining shield, he courageously protected the town: his name is Transone, from the Latin verb 'transire', which means 'to cross'. For friends today is the Castellano, like this Rosso Piceno DOC Superiore.

THE PRODUCTION OF RED WINE
Red wine is obtained from red grapes, thanks to a production process called "red vinification". This process involves contact between the pomace (peels and seed residues) and must during the fermentation phase
One of the first steps in producing a red wine is choosing the harvest period. The grapes are harvested when the sugar content reached is what the winemaker deems necessary to produce the desired alcohol content.
After harvesting, the bunches arrive in the cellar where the stalks are removed (destemming) before the grapes are pressed to obtain the must.
Maceration releases polyphenols, particularly anthocyanins, from the skins, which give the must its red color. Tannins are produced from the grape seeds. Maceration lasts approximately 10-15 days.
Meanwhile, alcoholic fermentation begins, triggered by yeasts present in the skins or by added yeasts. This natural process is favored by an increase in temperature, which, however, must be maintained between 25 and 30°C so as not to affect the quality of the wine.
During this process, the pomace may form a surface layer that prevents contact with the liquid, potentially leading to the development of acetic acid. However, several techniques are available to winemakers to address this problem.
After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation occurs, which involves the transformation of malic acid into lactic acid. This is a crucial step in the vinification of red wines because it enhances their smoothness and smoothes out any rough edges and harshness.
The must has now transformed into wine, but it must be racked, that is, the removal of residues, which can be accomplished through filtration or static decantation. This latter, less invasive method involves lowering the temperature in the tanks so that the substances to be eliminated settle to the bottom.
Once “cleaned”, the wine is ready for refinement,whose minimum duration is established by the DOC specifications, This can take place in steel tanks, concrete vats, large barrels, or small barrels or barriques. Once the maturation process is complete, bottling takes place: the wine begins its maturation in the bottle and, after a possible further aging period in the cellar, is released for sale.
