- Hand-harvested in crates. Grapes are quickly destemmed and crushed. Maceration and fermentation on the skins run spontaneously with natural yeasts in temperature-controlled steel tanks at 28-30 °C. After 20 days the wine is dry racked and moved to steel at 22 °C. Malolactic follows alcoholic fermentation. Aged 3 months in steel, then in bottle at a controlled 20 °C.
