- Whole bunches go into the pneumatic press and only the liquid fraction is fermented, at a controlled 17 °C with selected yeasts. At the end of alcoholic fermentation the wine is cooled to 10 °C to block malolactic fermentation, keeping its acidity as a natural preservative, and rests on its fine lees with frequent batonnage. No sulphites are added; transfers are made away from air.
