WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for Podere 72 are hand-harvested from organically farmed estate vineyards. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with extended maceration on the skins to extract color, structure, and fine tannins. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for approximately 12 to 16 months, followed by additional refinement in the bottle before release.
