WINE MAKING PROCESS
Azienda Agricola Valle Reale's Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo is crafted using 100% Montepulciano grapes grown under biodynamic and organic farming principles in the mountainous Abruzzo region. The harvest is timed to ensure optimal balance of ripeness and acidity. Vinification involves spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, with limited skin contact to achieve the characteristic rosé color and style. The wine then undergoes aging for about eight months, primarily in stainless steel, to maintain its freshness and aromatic profile before bottling.
