WINE MAKING PROCESS
Te Ispitește is produced using modern winemaking techniques focused on preserving the grape's natural characteristics. The Fetească Regală grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to maintain freshness and aromatic intensity. This approach allows the wine to express its varietal purity and the terroir of Iași County. Aging is typically done in stainless steel, avoiding oak to ensure a light, crisp, and fruit-forward profile. The harvest is carefully timed to achieve the ideal balance of ripeness and acidity.
