Vinification
The must ferments on its pomace for 10 to 15 days at controlled temperatures not exceeding 30°C, with four to six pumpovers daily. After fermentation the wine is decanted to steel tanks and the lees are discarded by frequent racking. It is then racked into large French oak casks for 24 months, followed by several months in steel and bottling the summer before release.
