Vinification The process starts by softly destalking and crushing the grapes then leaving them to macerate at 4°within 12 hours. This is followed by a gentle pressing, where the free-run must is separated from the refuse and clarified by settling. The resulting must is inoculated with selected yeasts and fermented in stainless steel tanks at 18°.
Ageing The obtained wine is placed in yeasts for about six months. This is followed by fining and filtration before bottling.
