Fermentation started with ambient yeasts, separately for each variety in steel tanks at controlled temperature between 30-32°C, with manual pumpovers and a total cuvaison of 25 days for Sangiovese and 25 days for Merlot. After the first racking, the wine was transferred to steel tanks for malolactic fermentation. |

The blending of the grape varieties took place after malolactic fermentation. Afterwards the wine was refined in second-passage oak barriques of thin grain, and finally bottled. |
