WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Kung Fu PetNat Rosé is produced using the Pétillant Naturel (Pet-Nat) method. This involves a gentle fermentation process where the wine is bottled before primary fermentation is fully complete, allowing for natural carbonation to develop within the bottle. Matías Riccitelli Wines emphasizes minimal intervention throughout the winemaking process, aligning with their 'PROJECT V.I.N.O.' which focuses on sustainable and organic viticulture. The grapes for the 2022 vintage were hand-picked during a period of optimal weather conditions in Mendoza, contributing to a balanced harvest.
