| Harvest | On arrival at the winery, the grapes are destemmed and softly crushed. |
| Wine making | The must was transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature of 28 °C. Maceration lasted about 15 days and was managed with soft mechanical interventions aimed at extracting the aromatic component and sweet, non-astringent tannins. |
| Aging | The wine was transferred into French oak barriques where malolactic fermentation took place first, in second-passage wood, followed by ageing for around 12 months in both new and second-passage wood. |
| Allergens | Contains sulphites |
