WINE-MAKING PROCESS
Ancestral Method
Partial low-temperature fermentation in vats creates a sweet wine with low alcohol content. Once filtered, the wine is clear and retains its yeast, continuing to ferment naturally in the bottle.
The ancestral method as required in the appellation’s specifications means the foam forms in the bottle in the most natural way possible, without any yeast or sugar additives.
