Harvest
During the last two weeks of August, the grapes are harvested in the morning so that they arrive fresh and in optimal condition to start the vinification process.
Vinification
The first step is the direct soft pressing of the grapes, followed by the static decantation of the must at 14 °C for about 24 hours. The alcoholic fermentation takes place at a constant temperature of 15 °C and lasts for about 15 days. The fermentation is made according to the Charmat method (Martinotti) in closed tanks for about 10 days. Then, the wine remains 3 months in the bottle before trade release.
Serving temperature
6-8 °C.
