PRESENTATION
The entire grape clusters remain in the press for several hours of cryomaceration. The grapes are soft-pressed to extract only the free-run must. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at between 15-16° C. We use the Martinotti method-also called the Charmat method (about 6 months on lees). Dudes is bottled at the end of summer.
Available format: 0.75 l
Alcohol content 12%-13% by volume
Heady aroma of fresh fruit with cherry, strawberry and raspberry notes. Floral with including the fragrance of rose. Delicate and lingering bead.
