WINE MAKING PROCESS
Monterosso Rosso begins with Sangiovese grapes sourced from the Molise region of Italy. The grapes are then transported to Nordic Sea Winery in Simrishamn, Sweden, for the subsequent stages of winemaking. Here, the wine undergoes refinement, aging, and bottling within the winery's modern facilities. This approach allows for stringent quality control and the implementation of sustainable practices. The winemaking process aims to balance the inherent characteristics of the Sangiovese grape with the winery's dedication to consistent quality and production standards.
