WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Tenuta Argentiera I Pianali Rosato begins with the careful selection and handpicking of grapes. The grapes undergo soft pressing and a short maceration with the skins. Fermentation occurs in thermo-controlled steel vats over 15 days. Following fermentation, the wine matures for 3 months in stainless steel tanks and is then aged for 2 months on fine lees. This approach aims to preserve the wine's inherent freshness and maritime character.
