WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested manually in late September. After gentle pressing, the must undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 15-16°C to preserve the fresh primary fruit aromas. The wine is aged on its fine lees in stainless steel for several months before bottling, enhancing its texture and complexity without any oak influence.
