Vinification: Already in the vineyard in the spring, by selecting the best buds, and then in the summer, by heavily thinning the bunches, the yield of the vines is reduced to maximize the quality of the future wine. At the beginning of October, the grapes are then harvested strictly by hand and once they arrive in the cellar they are destemmed and macerated on the skins for about thirty days. They are then racked and gently pressed. The wine obtained rests for about a month in stainless steel tanks in order to carry out malolactic fermentation. Immediately afterwards, a long aging process begins in 20 hl oak barrels for about 4 years.
Once bottled, the wine remains to refine in the bottle for at least two years before being marketed.
