WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Montico Zinfandel Organic 2020 is produced using organic viticultural practices. The grapes are hand-harvested from the Puglia region. Vinification involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with skin contact lasting 8-10 days. Malolactic fermentation is also utilized. The wine then undergoes a 3-month aging period in stainless steel tanks prior to bottling. Caviro's cooperative model and commitment to a circular economy are central to their production philosophy.
