- Grapes are hand-picked and gently pressed by machine so the stalks stay whole and the seeds are not crushed. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place in steel tanks, with skin maceration of about 25 days. The wine is then aged for about 15 months in barrique before bottling on a waning moon, unfiltered and unclarified.
