WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are sourced from the Mitza S'Ollastu vineyard, characterized by gravelly, pebbly soils with sand, clay, and loam. Following a meticulous manual harvest, the grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. To preserve the vibrant primary fruit characteristics and elegant floral profile of the Cannonau grape, the wine is aged primarily in stainless steel, with a small portion matured in used French oak barrels for several months to add subtle complexity and soften the tannins before bottling.
