Definition

The complete process of making wine from grapes.

Im Detail

Vinification encompasses everything from grape reception to bottling: crushing/pressing, fermentation, maceration (for reds), malolactic conversion, aging, fining, filtration, and bottling. Red and white vinification differ fundamentally — reds ferment with skins; whites are pressed before fermentation. Each decision shapes the final wine's character.
