Vinification takes place in small barrels, with capacities ranging from 100 to 200 liters, and is triggered by inoculating the must of grapes dried on racks with the so-called "mother," i.e., colonies of different yeasts derived from previous vinifications. Maturation continues for 10 years in chestnut barrels, where fermentation lasts a long time but intermittently, stimulated or repressed by natural variations in temperature and pressure.
