- Vinification
- Grapes are gently pressed straight after picking. Thanks to the first pressing the must clears by static cold process and is kept in cold storage at 0°C. Fermentation heats the juice from 0°C to 18°C, with yeasts added to keep it at 18-20°C. When the must-wine reaches 5 percent alcohol, fermentation is stopped by refrigeration at -3°C, then the wine is filtered and bottled.
