Closure Diam
Production Details Grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and cooled overnight to 4°C. The wine received one sulfur addition in deep winter, spent ten months on the lees, and was then blended and bottled. The finished-wine panel reports free SO2 of 50 mg/L and volatile acidity of 0.42 g/L. It prints acidity as 4.44 g/ll; because that unit is malformed, the figure is preserved here and not normalized into total_acidity_gl.
