VINIFICATION AND AGEING
Fermentation: After a manual harvesting, when grapes reach a good balance between acidity and maturation, the grapes are kept for 48 hours in a fridge at low temperature. Then the grapes are softly pressed at low temperature, extracting only the most delicate and aromatic elements. After a soft cold decanting, the must is fermented in steel tanks at 13-16 degrees for 15-20 days.
Ageing: At the end of the fermentation after a soft racking, the wine begins its ageing on its lees for at least 6 months. During ageing recurring batonnage take place in order to enhance the sensory complexity of the wine.
