WINE MAKING PROCESS
Federico Paternina Cava Reserva Brut Nature 2017 is produced using the traditional method, involving a second fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. The wine is aged for a minimum of 30 months on its lees, a process that contributes significantly to its character and complexity. The blend of Macabeo, Xarello, and Parellada grapes is fermented to create a base wine before the secondary fermentation and aging process.
