After a selection of the dried grapes and a soft pressing, the vinification takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature (15/16 °) with a partial maceration of the skins that separate after a few days from the start of the fermentation that is left to develop until a good balance between alcohol and sugar content is obtained.
