When the grapes reach optimal ripeness, they are harvested and transported to the winery, where the process begins with total destemming and gentle crushing. The grapes are then fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16°C. This is followed by nine months of ageing on fine lees with regular bâtonnage.
