ARMIRÈ The wine is obtained from Merlot grapes cultivated at a very high density, around 10000 vines per hectare. The wonderful position, the low production per plant (around 500 gr) of the vineyard and the careful manual selection of the perfect grapes only provide vintages of the highest quality. The fermentation is very long (20-25 days), in small steel vessel, at controlled temperature (22-25°C) with frequent manual plungings. The malolactic fermentation and the successive ageing of the wine take place in new French barriques for about 24 months. When bottled, the wine makes a final refining in the bottle for at least 12 months at controlled humidity and temperature. Technical details |
