Wine Production

The grapes, harvested by hand, were carefully sorted in the vineyard and then on arrival at the winery. They were then completely destemmed before being put into vats. Cold maceration (8 to 10°C) took place for 4 days, followed by alcoholic fermentation in the presence of selected yeasts for a total of 15 days, with 2 punchings of the cap per day.

The wine is placed in 228 liters oak barrels and matured for around 9 months.
