WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Vigno Odfjell Carignan 2019 is produced using 100% Carignan grapes. The winemaking process involves a six-day cold maceration followed by a six-day fermentation, with native and selected yeasts utilized. Post-fermentation maceration lasts for 15 days, and the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation. It is aged for 16 to 22 months in French oak barrels, both new and used. Minimal intervention is a guiding principle throughout the winemaking.
