VINIFICATION
The red grapes from our vineyards are handpicked and transported in small boxes to our winery. The process begins with destemming, crushing, and placing them in vats. Pre-fermentative maceration is done mechanically. Spontaneous fermentation, with temperature control, takes about 8 to 10 days, followed by pressing. The wine is then aged in barrels for approximately 24 months.
