WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Freixenet Italian Rosé involves harvesting grapes at sunrise and gently pressing them. The juice undergoes a slow, cool fermentation to preserve its aromatic qualities and freshness. A second fermentation takes place in pressurized stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, which is responsible for developing the wine's characteristic sparkle. This method, often referred to as the Charmat or tank method, is common for producing light and fruity sparkling wines.
