WINE MAKING PROCESS
Niuru Maru L'Archetipo is produced using 100% Negroamaro grapes. The winemaking process emphasizes minimal intervention, beginning with fermentation using only indigenous yeasts found naturally on the grapes. The goal is to preserve the authentic taste, aroma, and color of the fruit. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for approximately three months in stainless steel tanks and large oak barrels. It then rests for another three months in the bottle before being released. The wine is not filtered, further contributing to its natural expression.
