Harvest | By hand, the second and third decade of October with small crates. The grapes then undergo manual sorting at the winery. |
Wine making | 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. |
Aging | 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. |
