WINE MAKING PROCESS
Grapes for Caneco are sourced from Narupa Vinos' estate vineyards in Barrantes, characterized by loam and decomposed granite soils. Viticulture is described as 'rational,' employing biological treatments and zero-residue sanitary applications to manage mildew. The harvest is manual. In the cellar, the process involves crushing the grapes followed by a short cold maceration. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks using native yeasts at controlled temperatures. The wine then undergoes aging on its lees in stainless steel for about 9-10 months, contributing to its texture and complexity.
