WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Ecoltura Appassimento is crafted using the Appassimento technique, a traditional method where grapes are partially dried to concentrate their sugars and flavors before vinification.

Aging is noted as being 'Utan fat,' meaning without oak, allowing the inherent characteristics of the concentrated grapes to be prominent.
