WINE MAKING PROCESS
Corimbo I is produced from 100% Tinta del País grapes. The alcoholic fermentation is spontaneous and takes place in French oak vats, employing indigenous yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrels. It is then aged for 16 months, with 80% of the aging occurring in French oak barrels and 20% in American oak barrels. The vineyards are managed using organic farming practices, with non-irrigated bush vines.
