In the vineyard
Harvest by hand at the beginning of October.
Winemaking
Harvest in boxes at the beginning of November. Once the grapes are transferred to the winery, they are cooled with dry ice and then destemmed and destemmed by hand (all the grapes with any defects are removed; crushed, raisins, green, etc. ....), to open barrels of 500 lts. After a cold maceration of approximately 7 days, the wine ferments naturally with its native yeasts. With several daily battonages.
Ageing
Once fermented and pressed, it undergoes malolactic fermentation in the same 3-year old barrels where it undergoes alcoholic fermentation. Subsequently the wine remains 10 months on the lees without contact with wood. Bottled without filtering or fining.
