- Hand-harvested in crates. Grapes are immediately destemmed and crushed. Maceration and fermentation on the skins run spontaneously with native yeasts in temperature-controlled steel tanks at 28-30 °C. After 20 days the wine is dry racked into steel at 22 °C. Malolactic follows alcoholic fermentation. Matured 16-18 months in oak barrels, then aged in bottle at a controlled 20 °C.
