ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this rosé begins with delicate pneumatic pressing of the grapes, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. This technique is employed to maintain the wine's freshness and delicate aromas. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months in stainless steel on its fine lees, a practice that contributes to its texture and complexity while preserving its vibrant character. The harvest is conducted at night to ensure the preservation of grape acidity, a critical component for a refreshing rosé. The estate practices organic viticulture.
