WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for Rosa Bella are harvested early in the season to preserve their natural, vibrant acidity and delicate floral aromas. The winemaking process involves gentle whole-cluster pressing followed by a very brief skin contact period to extract the wine's signature pale pink hue. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to retain the pure primary fruit characteristics. Malolactic fermentation is blocked to maintain a crisp, refreshing profile. The wine is aged briefly in stainless steel before early bottling to ensure maximum freshness.
