| Winemaking technique | The harvest takes place when the grapes are fully ripe in the months of September and October, and the selection of the grapes takes place directly in the vineyard. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel wine vats at a controlled temperature, favoring prolonged contact of the skins with the must. Malolactic fermentation occurs immediately after alcoholic fermentation. The refinement takes place in French oak barrels for a period that varies between 12 and 14 months, the barrels are 50% new and 50% used for one year. The refinement in the bottle lasts for at least 6 months before being marketed. |
