Production, ageing and bottling of fortified and aromatized wines following modern oenological practices; for some types maturation in large ageing warehouses and the use of wood for reserve ageing is applied. For aromatized products (e.g. Cremovo) infusions based on egg yolk and flavoring agents are used as described in the product sheets.

Ageing in warehouses and in barrels; for some Marsala types and reserves ageing in wooden barrels (oak) and long maturation periods are practiced.
