WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for ÀN 2022 begins with hand-harvested and manually selected grapes from vineyards aged 40 to 60 years. The grapes are destemmed before fermentation, which takes place in 4,000-liter oak vats and concrete deposits, utilizing indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation is completed in French oak barrels. The wine then undergoes aging for 14 to 18 months in new and second-year French oak barrels. Some sources indicate further aging in concrete deposits before bottling.
