- Vinification
- Hand harvest in 20 kg crates. After destemming and crushing, fermentation with submerged cap starts in rotary fermenters; after about two days a delestage removes the seeds with an integrated auger and the must is returned to the skins. The wine is racked off the skins shortly before the end of fermentation for a softer, rounder finish. Malolactic fermentation in the same tank, two rackings before bottling, then 6-8 months in bottle.
