WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Pino Román Brut CL Orange Wine involves destemming the Muscat of Alexandria and Torontel grapes, followed by fermentation in old Chilean amphorae without temperature control. The wine then rests on its skins for 10 months in the same vessel. Natural yeasts drive the fermentation, and minimal sulfur is added, typically only at bottling. This approach emphasizes the natural expression of the fruit and the unique characteristics of the Itata Valley terroir.
