WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Mandrarossa Urra di Mare Sauvignon Blanc begins with hand-harvested grapes in early to mid-August. After crushing and destemming, the must undergoes cryomaceration at 5-8°C for four to six hours to extract aromatic compounds. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 16-18°C for 15-20 days. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for four months in stainless steel tanks before bottling. This approach emphasizes preserving the freshness and varietal character of the Sauvignon Blanc.
