WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Pino Román Naranjo undergoes fermentation with natural yeasts, a key technique that allows for the authentic expression of the Moscatel grape. Extended skin maceration is employed, characteristic of orange wines, followed by aging in a combination of neutral wood, stainless steel, and clay vessels. This approach avoids the use of new oak, preserving the wine's inherent character. Ignacio Pino Román's winemaking is guided by a philosophy of minimal intervention, focusing on the quality of grapes from old vines and the unique terroir of the Itata Valley. Organic farming and a collaborative relationship with growers are central to his sustainable practices.
