FERMENTATION
The grapes are de-stemmed and lightly crushed. This first must is then conveyed to the small sized fermenters, which have a system to circulate the must at a controlled temperature of 20°C. The initial process (maceration) lasts about 20 days after which the wine is racked and aged in steel.
REFINING
After 6 months of aging in stainless steel with continuous turning (riddling), the wine is aged for 6 months in oak barrels.
The wine is then bottled and left to rest for at least 3 months.
