WINE MAKING PROCESS
The organically farmed Carricante grapes are harvested when acidity and aromatics achieve optimal balance. Upon reaching the winery, the grapes are crushed and fermented together with their skins, utilizing traditional red winemaking methods to extract gentle tannins, color, and aromatic complexity. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks to retain its fresh acidity and fruit character before bottling.
