Harvest By hand, the second and third decade of October with small crates. The grapes then undergo manual sorting at the winery.
Vinification Grapes are then destemmed and not completely crushed and sent to a truncated cone-shaped wooden vat, where they macerate for about 10/12 days at a temperature of 22-25°C. The grapes on maceration are manually punched down with the use of a pneumatic puncher daily.
Ageing More than 1 year in wooden barrels and in concrete tanks and about 3 months in bottle. After fermentation, the grapes are left to macerate for a few days more, then the wine is separated from grape skins, which are pressed with a traditional vertical press. The wine obtained is aged in wooden barrels of 25 hectoliters for 12 months before being bottled.
