WINE MAKING PROCESS
The ÀN/2 Ànima Negra is produced using a blend of indigenous Mallorcan grapes, including Callet, Mantonegro, and Fogoneu, often with a proportion of Syrah. The grapes are sourced from old vines, typically aged between 50 to 85 years, cultivated using natural farming methods, including dry-farming and avoiding chemical treatments. Fermentation occurs in cement tanks with indigenous yeasts, allowing for a natural expression of the fruit. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes approximately 12 months of aging in French and American oak barriques, which contributes to its structure and complexity.
