RED & WHITE WINES

RED WINES

Red wines are still obtained following the traditional way. Grapes are selected and manually picked up, then pressed with the sharing of the grapes-stalks and put in the vinification tanks where they work with the solid parts as peels, pulp, grape-stones and they are pressed again only by ending the alcoholic fermentation.
According to the lenght of the soaking and of the racking, we can obtain fine fresh, live wines to drink right away or wine for aging.
