| Winemaking and refinement technique |
The grapes are harvested manually, pressed and destemmed. Before fermentation, a cold maceration is done (0-4°C), after 48 hours the grapes are brought to 20-23°C and inoculated with selected yeasts and left to macerate in fermentation for another 10-15 days. This is followed by racking, soft pressing and refinement first in steel and then in oak barrels. |
