WINE MAKING PROCESS
Pintia 2019 undergoes a cold maceration of 5 days before fermentation, which takes place in stainless steel and oak vats with indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation is completed entirely in wood. The wine is then aged for around 12 months, with 80% of the barrels being new French (75%) and American (25%) oak. To preserve fruit character and freshness, approximately 15% of the wine is aged in large stainless steel containers.
