Treatment in the cellar

The hand-picked grapes were fermented as whole berry as well as 30 m whole bunch fermented. Fermentation at a maximum temperature of 28 ° C lasted 7 -12 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine went into the traditional basket press, from which it was released directly into the barrel, where malolactic fermentation was completed. The wine then matured for 24 months in previously occupied French barriques and was bottled at the end of aging unfined and only lightly filtered.
