PIANTAO arises from a particular fermentation and evolution of a Cabernet Franc from Tupungato that in its beginnings did not show its true potential, but upon reaching its destination it became the "crazy one" that ended up teaching us the purest essence of who it wanted to be.
The grapes are fermented separately in cement tanks at different times during the harvest. The winemaking technique during alcoholic fermentation is very simple. The temperature is allowed to rise naturally as the native yeasts begin to ferment the must, until it reaches 28ºC. During this period, we monitor the temperature to prevent it from rising further using heat exchange plates located inside the tanks. Once fermentation is complete, 100% of the free-run wine is transferred directly to French oak barrels (30% new – 70% third- or fourth-use). Malolactic fermentation takes place there. After winter, all the barrels are racked and refilled so the wine can age for 36 months.
