WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Piera Terre Magre Cabernet Franc is produced through red vinification, featuring a maceration period of 15-20 days at temperatures between 26-28°C. After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation is carried out, followed by aging on fine lees until spring. The wine is then aged in barriques. Grapes are hand-picked, with the 2022 harvest occurring at the end of September. The vineyards are managed using the Guyot system.
