WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Dominio del Águila Picaro Tinto 2022 is produced using co-fermentation of its grape varieties, including the white Albillo. Harvested from selected parcels, the grapes are non-destemmed and trodden by foot. Fermentation occurs naturally with whole clusters. Following malolactic fermentation in oak barrels, the wine undergoes an aging process of 19 months in oak. The winery's approach prioritizes artisanal methods and respect for nature, with certified organic farming practices.
