WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Can Sumoi La Rosa involves hand-harvesting the grapes, followed by pressing in the winery. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at 17°C for 17 days using indigenous yeasts. The grapes undergo a brief maceration with the skins for 2 hours. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation takes place, and the wine is bottled without stabilization or filtration, adhering to a minimal intervention approach. No oenological products are added.
