VINIFICATION
After destemming, the grapes are pressed without being crushed.
From the draining of the grapes, we obtain the free-run must, the most precious part
of the juice. The first fermentation takes place in steel tanks
at a controlled temperature; this is followed by approximately 9 months of aging, also in steel
and finally bottling. The second fermentation in the bottle
is followed by at least 30 months of aging on the lees.
The riddling is done manually.
