Casale del Giglio's Tempranijo is a red wine made from 100% Tempranijo grapes, harvested at an advanced stage of ripeness, sometimes following a slight drying of the grapes on the vine. The winemaking process begins with a brief cold maceration lasting two days at 10°C, which enhances the extraction of the grapes' primary aromas. This is followed by a spontaneous alcoholic fermentation lasting 15–18 days at temperatures between 16°C and 24°C, with 12–15 days of skin contact. The wine is then aged for several months in stainless steel and cherry wood tonneaux (15–20%).
