Description

Anaràde were women with feet of a mule. Hidden during the day, Anaràde came out at night to feast on people. Thus, to protect the village, the inhabitants of Roghudi would seal the door facing Agriddhèa and the Plache at night. Anaràde rode astride an elderberry branch.

Winemaking
Firstly, the grapes are gently de-stemmed and pressed. Subsequently, the grapes are left to macerate for seven days at controlled temperature with frequent pump-overs and delestage to allow the extraction of flavouring and colouring agents. After further gentle pressing, the alcoholic fermentation continues in thermo-conditioned stainless steel tanks. Once the fermentation is finished, the wine is decanted and completes its malolactic fermentation and maturation in stainless steel tanks. After, the wine ages for about 10 months in 500-litre tonneaux. Ultimately, the wine ages in bottle for a minimum of 6 months.
