ABOUT THIS WINE
Whole-cluster pressing. Settling without cooling. Ambient yeast fermentation with no sulfur additions in barrels and foudres (228, 500, and 1500L) that are mostly used. Despite very low pH’s, Malos tend to happen except on L’Oca. No fining. Light filtration. Total sulfur at bottling 40 to 60 ppm, though it is not all added because the yeasts in the terroir produce a substantial amount on their own during fermentation.
