We start the process with destemming, crushing and gathering the grapes in the cellars. The pre-fermentation maceration is done with mechanical treading for 2 days and the spontaneous fermentation, always done with temperature control, lasts for 10 to 15 days, followed by pressing. The wine ages in barrels for a minimum period of 24 months.
