extraction of the peel components. Fermentation is carried out with natural yeasts respecting the terroir, with one
permanence of the wine on the skins for at least 18-20 days during which delicate punching down is carried out e
very short replacements.

small 10 hl barrels for at least 6 months. During this period some decantings are carried out to clarify it and make it
ready for bottling which takes place through a very white filtration and without any clarification, in order to maintain
all the organoleptic properties unaltered.

AGING: at least 12 months in the bottle
