Treatment in the cellar

Each grape variety was harvested and vinified separately. Before the fermentation process was started, the grapes underwent a long and above all slow cold maceration. The fermentation process took place in small stainless steel tanks. Once fermentation was complete, the different grape varieties were matured separately for 12 months in French 300-litre oak barrels, then blended with great care and placed in French barriques for a further 6 months for ageing. After bottling, the wine matured for a further 12 months in the bottle before being released for consumption.
