Vinification of the Gran Reserva by Imperial The vinification of the Gran Reserva is a masterful craft that begins with great care. The grapes come from high-quality locations known for their excellent terroir. This wine is made from selected, ripe grapes that are harvested by hand. The harvest takes place at the optimal time to ensure the best aromas and the perfect ripeness of the grapes. After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed to extract their juice. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, where the aromas develop and the fruit extraction takes place gently. The wine then ages for at least 24 months in selected American and French oak barrels. This aging imparts the Gran Reserva with its complex aromas and wonderful structure. After bottling, the wine can further age in the bottle for months before it hits the market. This careful and lengthy development results in a wine that is full of depth and character.
