WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Alfa Crux Crux Malbec is produced from 100% Malbec grapes. Vinification involves aging 70% of the wine in concrete tanks and 30% in French oak barrels for a period of 3 months. This approach aims to balance the preservation of fruit characteristics with the subtle integration of oak influence.
