The soils are predominantly clay-limestone, providing excellent drainage and mineral content. The combination of altitude, sun exposure, and sea breezes contributes to the development of grapes with balanced acidity and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eGrapes are hand-harvested in early October and undergo manual selection. Fermentation occurs in truncated conical oak vats without temperature control, using only indigenous yeasts. The must remains in maceration on the skins for about a month. The wine then ages on its fine lees for 16 months in French oak barrels and tonneaux, followed by additional bottle aging to enhance complexity and integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2019 MaraMia exhibits a bright ruby red color.
