Vinification
Hand harvest in 20 kg crates. After destemming and crushing, fermentation starts in rotary fermenters; after about 2 days a delestage removes the seeds via an auger and the must is returned to the skins to continue maceration until the sugars are used up. After racking into steel, malolactic fermentation follows; two rackings before bottling, with full expression after 3-4 months in bottle.
