Harvest
The harvest occurs in the morning in order to deliver the grapes in the afternoon, so they arrive fresh and in optimal conditions to start the vinification process.
Vinification
After crushing and destalking of the grapes, the must is sent to temperature-controlled stainless tanks. The alcoholic fermentation and maceration last around 7 days at a constant temperature of 25/26 °C to help developing all typical aromas coming from the grape variety. During the maceration, automatic pumping over is carried out periodically to extract the polyphenolic substances from the skin. The malolactic fermentation takes place immediately after the alcoholic fermentation at a constant temperature of 18°C. This wine is aged in cement tanks for about 6 months and during summer in stainless steel temperature-controlled tanks at 15 °C before bottling, followed by 3 months of bottling ageing.
