WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Cloé 2020 is produced from hand-harvested and selected Nerello Mascalese grapes. Following destemming and crushing, the grapes undergo a brief maceration on the skins for a few days to achieve the desired color. Fermentation is spontaneous, utilizing indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine then ages for about six months, with part of it maturing in stainless steel and the remainder in chestnut barrels. No sulfur dioxide is added throughout the winemaking process, including at bottling.
