WINE MAKING PROCESS
Licos 2021 is produced from 100% White Grenache grapes grown on clay-limestone vineyards in Gandesa, DO Terra Alta. The grapes are cultivated using organic farming methods. Following harvest, grapes from different estates are vinified separately in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures. Alcoholic fermentation is also conducted at controlled temperatures, and malolactic fermentation is deliberately avoided. The final blend is determined after fermentation to achieve a fresh and balanced wine. The wine is subsequently aged for 4 to 8 months in stainless steel tanks.
