ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Mancuso Garnacha 2021 is produced from hand-harvested grapes. Fermentation takes place in open stainless steel tanks, with maceration periods varying from 24-48 hours at low temperatures to up to 50 days. Some fermentation includes 40-50% whole clusters. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for about 12 months, with 65% in concrete tanks and 35% in 500-liter French oak barrels. The producer follows organic farming practices and aims for minimal intervention.
