WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Manincor Il Conte 2021 is produced from hand-harvested grapes. Fruit from different vineyard sites was spontaneously fermented separately using native yeasts in wooden, concrete, and stainless steel vats. Maceration lasted ten days, with daily punching down of the cap, managed gently to achieve fine-grained tannins. Following fermentation, the wine was aged for 12 months in neutral French oak barrels (used barriques) on its lees. The estate adheres to certified biodynamic and organic farming practices, including Respekt certification.
