WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Tio Tio Côtes Catalanes Rouge is produced using traditional vinification methods. The grapes undergo a 15-day maceration period, followed by 12 months of aging in truncated cone tanks. This process is designed to capture the fruit characteristics of the Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Grenache Noir grapes while developing a balanced structure. The estate employs organic farming practices in its vineyards.
