WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Ami Vida 2023 focuses on preserving the inherent qualities of the Albariño grape. Fermentation typically takes place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures to maintain freshness and aromatic intensity. Following fermentation, the wine may undergo a period of lees aging, which can contribute to a richer texture and added complexity. Oak is generally not used in the production of this style of Albariño, allowing the pure varietal character and regional expression to shine through. The wine is usually intended for youthful consumption to best appreciate its vibrant acidity and aromatic profile.
