WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Pipeno is produced using traditional methods, with fermentation initiated by natural yeasts in open vats or stainless steel tanks. Winemaking emphasizes minimal intervention, with aging occurring in stainless steel or neutral wood to preserve the wine's natural character. Sulfur is added minimally, typically only at bottling. The grapes are hand-harvested from old vines cultivated using organic and dry-farming techniques, with a focus on soil health.
