VINIFICATION
Results of applied research of the Agricultural University of Athens were utilized.
The grape pulp was not sulfated, so that, afterwards, partial malolactic fermentation took place, before the alcoholic one.
The start of the alcoholic fermentation was decided based on the acid profile of the grape pulp during the malolactic fermentation process.
The extraction was carried out at medium-low temperatures, until the desired concentration of tannins and anthocyanins.
The wine was matured in barrels of first and second use, 225 L, from French oak. During the maturation, after continuous monitoring of the aging indicators and organoleptic analysis, selected ventilations and shaking were performed. (battonage).
