WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Julia Bernet Maria Silver Corpinnat Brut Nature is produced using the traditional method, with secondary fermentation occurring in the bottle. Primary fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts. The wine undergoes extended aging on lees, a minimum of 18 months as per Corpinnat regulations, which contributes to its complexity and texture. This cuvée is a Brut Nature, meaning no dosage (added sugar) is used. The grapes are hand-harvested from organically certified vineyards.
