Viticulture and Vinification
The grapes are picked at dawn in order to get a maximum freshness of the wine. The red grapes used for this wine are left in their skins for a short period, in order to extract just a hint of colour, before the light pink juice is collected for fermentation. Fermentation takes place at cool temperatures, in order to retain the fresh aromas during the entire process. The vinification is as minimal as possible and aims to transform the grapes into wine in the purest way. In order to achieve this, we do not use oak wood or secondary fermentations, the wine remaining in neutral stainless steel tanks and from there it goes directly into bottles, without aging it too much in the winery, so that the character and freshness of the grapes reaches the glass..Tasting notes
