How it is produced
The production process of Cycnus is designed to preserve the original fragrance of the grapes. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at strictly controlled temperatures, a fundamental technique to protect the aromatic integrity of the grape variety. Subsequently, the wine undergoes ageing in stainless steel for about eight months, a choice that ensures stability and enhances its natural freshness. To best appreciate the consistent structure and vibrancy of this white wine, an optimal serving temperature is around twelve degrees Celsius.
