Vinification
Zé-RO is crafted through a combination of direct pressing and whole bunch maceration for 3 weeks, a method that enhances the wine’s structure and aromatic complexity. After fermentation, the wine is aged in large concrete tanks, allowing it to develop with minimal intervention, preserving the freshness and purity of its fruit while gaining subtle texture. This approach reflects Thibaud Capellaro’s commitment to producing a natural, expressive wine with a modern twist on traditional Rhône techniques.
