The harvest is carried out by hand, and after being initially selected, the bunches are placed in ventilated crates. After gentle pressing and de-stemming, the must is placed in the fermentation vats. Maceration is carried out for around 12-15 days, followed by a very gentle pressing. Then the wine is transferred into steel vats to complete the alcoholic fermentation process and undergo malolactic fermentation. Finally, it is decanted into large oak casks, where it is aged for 20-24 months. After being bottled, the wine is left to age for at least 8-10 months before being put on the market.
