Vinification:
The harvest began on September 12 with the Merlot and ended on October 9 with the Cabernet
Sauvignon. The grapes were selected in two moments: immediately after the harvest and after the
destemming, to ensure that only the well-ripened ones arrive inside the tanks of
fermentation. Like every harvest, the individual vineyard plots were divided into
many small harvest plots according to the climatic trend of the year, distinguishing them by
characteristics of the grapes and vinifying them separately. Fermentation and maceration are
took place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature, for 15/20 days. After the operations of
racking, the wine was decanted directly into barriques, where the fermentation took place
malolactic. At the end of the first year of aging in new French oak barrels, the wine
it was assembled to return to wood for a further six months before bottling.
