WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Villa Moncigale Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence Rosé 2024 begins with destemming and immediate pressing of the grapes. The resulting juices undergo cold stabilization for 7-15 days to enhance aromatic potential. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled low temperatures of 12-13°C to maintain freshness. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 3 months on fine lees with gentle stirring. Viticultural practices are guided by reasoned farming and HVE 3 certification, with harvests conducted at night to preserve grape quality.
