In the cellar, the grapes are not crushed to keep the berries intact at the start of fermentation. This is followed by a \u003cstrong\u003elong maceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e for 40 days, essential for extracting colour and structure. After a brief rest in stainless steel, the wine matures for 12 months in \u003cstrong\u003efirst-passage French oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, then further ages until optimal maturity. The process concludes without any filtration, preserving the wine’s authenticity and richness of flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced exclusively in the \u003cstrong\u003ebest vintages\u003c\/strong\u003e, Solana pays tribute to the renowned Marquis Abelardo Gutierrez de la Solana.
