ALPHA ÍGNEO
MALVASÍA VOLCÁNICA
Elaboration
We begin by going through a selection table to start the vinification with a cold pre-fermentation maceration of the must. Then, after 72 hours, we will begin the alcoholic fermentation in the same tank with 4-5 daily punchdowns, where later we will let the wine rest on its lees for 10 months, which we will clarify with clays and bottle without filtering.
Underwater maturation for 12 months at 24 meters of depth in the Mediterranean Sea.
Tasting
On the nose: very powerful fruit content, with fruits such as mango and banana standing out, as well as very sweet floral notes. The ageing on lees highlights with milky, sweet and buttery notes.
On the palate: voluminous, great complexity and creaminess. It stands out for its high sweet and ripe fruit load again. A very well-integrated acidity, a wine with very mineral and sweet notes. It promises a great evolution in the bottle.

The only winery in the world that has formulated a fully standardized oenological project based on underwater maturation.
Our wines go through a process called “underwater maturation,” which has been standardized by us and registered along with all the elements that characterize it. Today, our process is completely confidential, and the only thing we can reveal is that no one else does anything like it.
