WINE MAKING PROCESS
Montepeloso Eneo 2022 is produced using a proprietary blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malvasia Nera. The grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermentation with natural yeasts, followed by maceration on the skins for 12 to 28 days. The wine is then aged in second and third-use French barriques for 9 to 18 months, with subsequent aging in stainless steel or bottle. Some production methods may involve no filtration before bottling. The estate practices organic farming.
