- Vinification
- Grapes are picked in crates and pressed the same day, with selected yeasts added at once. Fermentation lasts 10 to 12 days with frequent, short pumping-overs; the winemaker extracted as many tannins as possible and left acidity a little high, as natural preservatives in place of sulphites. Rests in steel after malolactic fermentation, with frequent transfers away from air. No sulphites added.
