The grapes are picked between the first and second weeks of April. After a gentle destemming, the must is cold macerated before fermentation to preserve the primary aromas. The temperature during fermentation ranges between 25 and 28 °C (77 to 82.4 °F). A post-fermentation maceration is performed for 10 to 15 days, and then malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels. Ageing is carried out in first, second and third-use French oak barrels for 12 months. All grapes grown in our vineyards are under a program of sustainable practices.
