WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Ferghettina Rosé 2020 is produced using the traditional method. Grapes are harvested in mid-August and undergo very soft pressing to obtain free-run must. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine gains its color from a 12-24 hour maceration on the skins, with no red wine added. Following tirage in the spring after harvest, the wine is aged on lees for 36 months. A portion of the wine may also see maturation in French oak barrels. The winery utilizes a distinctive square-based bottle to enhance lees contact.
