## Wine making process

Elios Modus Rosso is produced using 100% Nero d'Avola grapes from organically grown vineyards in the Camporeale area. The grapes are hand-harvested. Vinification involves maceration on the skins for 9 days in steel tanks, with spontaneous fermentation utilizing native yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a nine-month aging period in chestnut wood tonneau barrels.
