| Wine making | After mechanical crushing and destemming, the must, in the presence of the skins, ferments spontaneously thanks to the addition of pied de cuve containing indigenous yeasts, the only ones able to best interpret our terroir. After 7 moons (approximately seven months) of maceration with the skins, in a reducing environment, in the presence of the same carbon dioxide resulting from the alcoholic fermentation and subsequent malolactic fermentation, the marc is removed by soft pressing. Natural decantation without clarifying agents. Unfiltered. |
| Aging | In steel for the next 2 years on its own noble lees; the wine is agitated about every 15 days. Minimal addition of sulphur dioxide in pre-bottling. |
