Harvest By hand, the second and third decade of October with small crates. The grapes then undergo manual sorting at the winery.
Vinification Destemmed and not fully crushed, the grapes are sent into truncated conical wooden vats, where they macerate for about 10-12 days at a temperature of 22-25°C. Manual punching-down is carried out several times a day on the macerating grapes with a pneumatic punching-down machine. Once fermentation is complete, the grapes are left to macerate for a few more days, after which they are drawn off and pressed using a traditional vertical press. The wine thus obtained rests, in 25-hl barrels, for 18 months before being bottled.
Ageing 18 months in wooden barrels and concrete tanks and 6 months in the bottle.
Production year 11,000 bottles
