Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were selected with great care in the vineyard and transported in small harvest boxes to the winery, where they were initially stored in a refrigerated container for 24 hours. The grapes were completely destemmed and fermented in cone-shaped concrete tanks, with the wine being pumped over once a day. Just before the completion of fermentation, the wine was pressed and transferred to 500 l oak barrels, where it completed a maturation of 12 months before being skimmed of the coarse lees and bottled unfiltered.
