Chapeaux

In sunny Palizzi, Merlot grapes ripen perfectly by mid-August, creating a vibrant garnet wine. Hand-harvesting starts in late August and early September, selecting the finest grapes. Vinification includes destemming, a 10-12 day fermentation at 24-26°C, gentle punch-downs for flavor extraction, malolactic fermentation, and five to six months in stainless steel. After bottling, it ages for at least four more months to reach its refined state. Ideal for autumn menus.
