WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Gurrieri Frappato 2021 is produced using organic viticulture. Grapes are hand-harvested in two stages and transported in small crates. Vinification involves chilling the grapes, followed by soft pressing and long maceration in temperature-controlled systems. After malolactic conversion, the wine is aged in wooden barrels or steel tanks and then refined in the bottle.
