WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of La Molla Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva 2019 begins with hand-harvested, 100% organic Montepulciano grapes. The grapes undergo fermentation with extended skin contact for up to 20 days to enhance color, flavor, and structure. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for a minimum of 24 months, with a portion maturing in large oak barrels and the remainder in steel tanks. This dual aging approach aims to achieve a balance between fruit expression, freshness, complexity, and subtle oak notes, resulting in a well-rounded Riserva.
