Harvest
Mid-August to mid-September
Vinification
Grapes are crushed without destemming, macerated and soft-pressed in pneumatic presses. The must is cooled to 6-8 °C to prevent fermentation and let the lees settle, then chilled to 0 °C to stop fermentation completely so the wine stays sweet. It is kept in closed stainless steel tanks in a cold room and, when needed, fermented in sealed autoclaves, where the CO2 gives the foam and the characteristic aroma.
Serving temperature
8-10 °C
