WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Inycon Appassimento Organic 2021 is produced using the Appassimento method, where grapes are naturally dried to concentrate their sugars and flavors. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation, likely in stainless steel. The resulting wine is then aged for six months in oak barrels, which helps to integrate the flavors and soften the tannins. The producer, Cantine Settesoli, is a cooperative with a strong focus on organic viticulture and sustainable practices, including the use of solar energy and biogas facilities.
