The harvest is done by hand after a careful selection of the grapes in the field, which are then transferred to the winery for spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with part of the whole bunches. The mass is subsequently placed in old oak barrels for 18 months of aging, followed by a long resting period in the bottle before being released on the market.
