Frales
The harvest takes place during the first week of October, earlier than usual, to favour a lower alcohol content and a more distinct aromatic fragrance. 15% of the grapes are placed in the bottom of the barrel as “whole grapes”, to be later covered by the already pressed grapes. The reason behind it is to not seek excessive extraction of tannic substances for the benefit of freshness and elegance of taste.
In a 30-hl wooden barrel, the wine undergoes a short period of maturation to smooth out its roughness.
Followed by a few months of ageing in steel to facilitate its natural sedimentation, the wine is then finally ready to be bottled and ages for another few months.
