WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested from certified organic vineyards. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh primary fruit aromas and crisp acidity. The wine is kept on its fine lees for a short period to add texture and complexity before bottling, ensuring a vibrant and expressive profile.
