Vinification
Hand-harvest in mid-September, with a careful selection of perfectly healthy and ripe grapes. A seven-day maceration at controlled temperatures between 22 - 28 C, in which the skins give color, aromas and tannins to the must, precedes the alcoholic fermentation in steel vats. Malolactic fermentation in steel tanks.
