Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand. Destemming and pressing are carried out in a careful and protective manner. A skin maceration is carried out to extract the varietal character from the skins, and fermentation takes place at low temperature (12 to 15 °C) in stainless steel tanks, thus preserving the freshness and aromas of the wine.
