WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Terras De Lantano Albariño is produced from 100% Albariño grapes. Following harvest, the wine undergoes alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. A significant portion, 50%, is then subjected to malolactic fermentation. The entire volume is subsequently aged on its lees for 12 months, with regular stirring to enhance texture and complexity.
