WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are carefully hand-harvested at optimal maturity and vinified with gentle maceration, followed by a 12-hour decantation. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 16–18°C using selected native yeasts to preserve primary fruit and floral aromas. The wine undergoes no oak aging, remaining entirely in stainless steel to maintain its crisp purity, and is bottled young with a touch of natural carbon dioxide to retain its signature light, playful effervescence.
