Subsequently, the wine undergoes a slow and controlled maturation within \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, which enriches its aromatic profile. The second fermentation in the bottle is followed by a long ageing of \u003cstrong\u003eninety-six months on the lees\u003c\/strong\u003e, a fundamental step to amplify the complexity and depth of flavour. The total absence of filtration before bottling allows the structure to be preserved intact and encourages remarkable longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe excellence of the glorious Egly-Ouriet winery takes shape thanks to the rigorous work of an authentic \u003cstrong\u003eRecoltant Manipulant\u003c\/strong\u003e, who vinifies only estate-grown grapes.
