The grapes are harvested when they are slightly overripe, and after destemming, the berries are sent to the pressing phase. The must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, macerating for 8-10 days at a temperature not exceeding 26 degrees. Malolactic fermentation occurs by the beginning of the winter season. The final aging phase takes place first for 8 months in steel and then, after bottling, for another 4 months directly in glass.
