WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, typically in early to mid-September. They undergo gentle pressing followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks (usually between 14-16°C) to preserve the delicate primary fruit aromas and crisp acidity. The wine is kept on its fine lees for a short period before stabilization, filtration, and bottling, ensuring a fresh, clean, and vibrant style without any oak influence.
