WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Pierre Usseglio Côtes du Rhône 2021 is produced using traditional winemaking techniques. The grapes are fermented in concrete vats, a method chosen to highlight the purity of the fruit. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for approximately six months, also in concrete. This approach emphasizes the expression of the grape varietals and the Rhône Valley terroir. The domaine employs organic farming practices in its vineyards.
