Harvest

end of September – mid- October

Winemaking

At harvest, the grapes are delivered in small bins and immediately gently pressed.
The must ferments slowly at controlled temperatures (18-20°C) in wood barrels (30 – 40 hl), in
which partial malolactic fermentation occurs. The wine is clarified through natural sedimentation
of particles.
