ABOUT THIS WINE
The Cono Sur 20 Barrels Limited Edition Pinot Noir is a premium expression from Viña Cono Sur, a winery founded in 1993 with a focus on innovation and quality.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 20 Barrels Limited Edition Pinot Noir begins with hand-picked grapes, ensuring optimal quality. Fermentation occurs in small open-top vats, a technique that allows for precise control over the winemaking process and contributes to the wine's character. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 12-14 months in French oak barrels and foudres. This careful maturation period allows the wine to develop complexity and refine its structure. Cono Sur is known for its commitment to sustainable and organic viticulture, reflecting a philosophy that balances quality winemaking with environmental responsibility.
