WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Alma De Lisboa Tinto begins with complete destemming and crushing of the grapes. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures, not exceeding 26°C, followed by a classic, short maceration period. Malolactic fermentation is completed to soften the wine. The wine is then aged in stainless steel tanks, a choice made to preserve the pure, fruity expression of the grape blend. This approach emphasizes freshness and approachability, avoiding any influence from oak aging.
