Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were whole bunch pressed without the addition of enzymes or sulfites and the juice was left to rest overnight. The next morning, the juice was poured into the barrel, where spontaneous fermentation began. "Spontaneous" in this context means that fermentation began without the use of commercial yeasts, but exclusively by yeast naturally occurring in the environment and on the fruit. Once fermentation was complete, the wine matured for 10 months in barrels (300 l and 500 l capacity), of which 20% were new wood.
