WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo a gentle, low-intervention vinification. Fermentation occurs naturally with indigenous yeasts. The wine undergoes 100% complete malolactic fermentation to soften its natural acidity. No sulfur dioxide is added during the fermentation or aging processes, preserving the raw expression of the fruit. A minimal preventative dose of approximately 10 mg/L of SO2 is added only at bottling. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered to maintain its structural integrity and complex aromatic profile.
