WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Tragolargo Blanco is produced using skin maceration, a technique typically associated with red wines, applied here to white grapes to extract color, tannins, and flavor. Fermentation is spontaneous, relying on native yeasts present on the grape skins and in the winery environment. The wine is then aged for a few months in steel tanks to maintain its freshness. It is bottled without filtering or clarifying, a deliberate choice to preserve its natural character and texture.
