Harvest

Vinification

Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats in a temperature-controlled environment, favouring a prolonged contact of skins with the must. Malolactic fermentation occurs in the month of November right after the alcoholic fermentation. Ageing takes places first in stainless – steel tanks, then for at least three months in cement vats and finally for at least another three months in the bottle.
