WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Unio Nero di Troia e Primitivo begins with hand-harvested grapes picked in the early morning. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures of 20-22°C. After malolactic fermentation, the wine undergoes a two-stage aging process: 2 months in stainless steel tanks followed by 4 months in French oak barrels. This method aims to balance fruit expression with subtle oak influence.
