WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Gloria Grillo DOC Organic focuses on preserving the fresh, aromatic qualities of its grapes. After harvest, the juice undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, a technique chosen to maintain the wine's vibrant fruit and floral notes. Following fermentation, the wine rests on its lees for a period of 3 to 6 months. This lees contact contributes to the wine's texture and complexity without introducing oxidative notes. Finally, the wine is filtered and bottled, ready to be enjoyed for its youthful charm.
