The maceration time depends on the coloring capacity of the grape, so it varies from year to year. At the end of maceration, the must is separated from the skins and transferred to a stainless steel tank at controlled temperature where fermentation begins. At the end of fermentation and subsequent maturation, the rosé wine is stabilized and filtered, then bottled and ready for sale.
