Notes of the oenologist:

Grapes harvested by hand in the second half of October. After de-stemming, the grapes are conveyed directly into the stainless steel fermenters, where the fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature for about two weeks. At the end of the malolactic fermentation, the wine with its macerated skins is pressed and conveyed to a stainless steel tank at a controlled temperature for 6 months. 30% of the wine is aged in wood and finally in the bottle lying down.
