VINIFICATION AND AGEING

Harvest Careful, timely thinning ensures that grape yields per unit of surface area are within the limits established by the production standards. The harvest takes place in mid-September, choosing the ripest, healthiest bunches and using small containers to quickly transport them to the winery.
Vinification the whole grapes transported to the winery are immediately cooled and then destemmed and crushed. Before pressing, the grapes are cold macerated on the skins for approximately 6 hours to improve extraction of the aromas. Alcoholic fermentation lasts approximately 7 days and occurs at controlled temperatures between 16 and 18°C. After fermentation is complete, the wine is cooled and separated from the gross lees to prevent malolactic fermentation.
Ageing The wine is aged for approximately 5 months in steel tanks at a temperature of approximately 10 °C.
