WINE MAKING PROCESS
Ette is produced using natural winemaking techniques. The grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in cement tanks. A key technique is skin maceration, typically lasting 8-9 days for the Baratuciat grape, which contributes to the wine's color and texture. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in cement tanks. It is bottled without fining or filtration, adhering to a minimal intervention philosophy. The viticulture practices focus on responsible land stewardship.
