Vinification
Full bunch manual harvest to later pass to a manual selection band where only the healthy grapes were chosen. After destemming, the juice is poured into cocciopesto eggs. The juice was fermented in the egg with 30% stem and after malolactic fermentation, 70% of the juice remained in a smaller cocciopesto egg and the other 30% went to a used French oak barrel where it was left for 6 months to later be mixed and bottled.
