Description
The must destined for Alfonso comes from the second press of the pneumatic Wilmes presses so as to obtain slightly more structure and body.
Followinq fermentation to between 11% and 12% alcohol the wine is fortified to 18% alcohol and then enters the Alfonso solera.
An empty space of 100 litres is left in the casks so that the wine has a large surface area in contact with the oxygen and therefore undergoes
complete oxidisation.
Alfonso remains in American oak casks following the traditional Solera system for an average of 8 years.
