Treatment in the cellar

After harvesting, the grapes were pressed with great care after extensive contact with the skin, using only the free flowing juice for further production. After a 24-hour resting phase, the juice was mixed with selected yeasts and the following day, at a cool-regulated temperature, it was filled into French oak barrels for fermentation. After fermentation, the wine matured for a further 8 months in barrels, of which 60% was first-fermented new wood and 40% second and third-fermented 400 litres of oak barrels.
