A small part (25%) is vinified in white; a part about 40% is placed in cold maceration for 36 hours, for a greater extraction of the pink part. For both, a soft pressing and a start with indigenous fermentation then helped halfway through the addition of a small amount of selected yeast to complete the fermentation. The remaining part of the grapes is pressed, cooled to 7 degrees and left to macerate until the indigenous fermentation begins (usually 5 to 6 days). The macerated product is placed in a press and squeezed at minimum pressure, the must thus obtained continues its fermentation in traditional 2nd and 3rd passage barrels, in non-toasted oak with a capacity of 5/7 HL. One month before bottling, the three different vinifications are combined to form a single wine.

For the vinification of this wine, 10% of the harvested grapes are vinified in the classic way, soft pressing, settling and controlled fermentation. The remaining 90% of the grapes are left to dry for over a month, losing about 40% of the weight. The highly concentrated must obtained is fermented in small oak barrels, where it remains until the summer. Then the two wines are blended and aged for another 4 months in steel barrels. The refinement takes 6-8 months in the bottle.
