The harvest is done manually, and after destemming, a soft pressing is carried out. The must ferments at controlled temperature with skin maceration, to ensure a complete extractionof the aromatic components. The fermentation is stopped by adding alcohol, leaving a residual sugar.

The final blend is made with wines aged from 2 to 5 years, ensuring a harmonious final result.
