HARVEST – VINIFICATION: |
The grapes are harvested during the first ten days of October, after systematic monitoring of their maturation course. They are collected in crates and come to the winery on the same day. After a light crushing and de-stemming, the grapes are carried to the vinification tanks. After the alcoholic and the malolactic fermentations are over, the wine ages in barrels for 12 months. In-between, the barrels are decanted and are under continuous and analytical monitoring of the taste, which leads to certain choices. Afterwards it is lightly filtered and bottled.. |
