Bodega Dante RobinoNovecento Raíces Cabernet SauvignonVINIFICATION PROCESS
The grape is harvested from selected well-kept vineyards,
with high enological quality and low production. There is
a phenolic ripen and sugar level monitoring of the vines
up to the moment of grinding. Harvest is manual and
grapes are stalked, refrigerated and fermented during
grinding. From there, they are sent to small capacity
vessels (100 to 300 HL), equipped with temperature panels
that allow for refrigerant and hot water passage.
Temperature is maintained at 25 ºC approximately.
Alcoholic fermentation takes approximately up to 10 days
and it is followed by the maceration process, which it
spends between 10 and 15 days; the drain out moment is
decided in function of the total polyphenol index, together
with the respective tasting. The approximate of 30%
percentage of the blend is aged in american Oak for a
period of 6 months. Followed by stabilization and
bottling. After bottling the winemaker allows the wine to
settle in the underground wine cellar for 6 months.
