WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Jean d'Alibert Rouge is crafted from a blend of Syrah and Grenache grapes. Vinification typically involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures to preserve the fruit's character and achieve balanced extraction. The aging process, while not detailed, likely involves a period of maturation in stainless steel or neutral oak to integrate the wine's components and soften its texture, aiming to highlight the fruit expression and regional typicity.
