VInification
After manual selection of the grapes, both in the vineyard and on the selection table, the grapes are separated from the stems and, without pressing, so with their skins, a maceration process of 6 days in stainless steel vessels takes place. The juice is then separated from the cap and spends 4 months in a stainless steel vessel to complete the alcoholic fermentation, and 6 weeks in an oak barrel. The wine spends a minimum of 2 years in the bottle before release.
