Summary

Term related to the production method and to the particular amber-yellow colour, more o less deep, of the 鈥淢arsala鈥� wine typology. Its particular colour originates from the long production method, which includes ageing and refinement, processes that imply significant oxide reductions of the polyphenols and colouring substances.
