WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Ritorno Podere Cianfanelli 2020 is produced using traditional winemaking methods. The grapes undergo a 20-day maceration period to extract color and structure. Fermentation occurs in large stainless steel vats (25 hectoliters), a technique that helps retain the fresh character of the indigenous varietals. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in the bottle before release. The producer, Podere Cianfanelli, is committed to organic agriculture and a hands-on approach to winemaking, managing all aspects of production from the vineyard to the cellar.
