WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Galil Mountain Rosé 2020 is produced using the saignée method, where juice is drawn off red wine tanks shortly after grape reception and fermented separately. The Sangiovese grapes are processed using a white wine technique, including shading and cold fermentation at 14°C. Fermentation and aging are conducted exclusively in stainless steel tanks to maintain the wine's freshness and fruit-driven character. The grapes are sourced from high-elevation vineyards in the Upper Galilee region.
