Vinification

The grapes are harvested – avoiding oxidation – during the third week of February. Then, they are cooled and softly pressed. A pellicular maceration is performed to transfer the varietal character from the skin to the must. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out at low temperatures, in stainless steel tanks, to preserve the primary aromas. Then, there is a short second fermentation for the formation of the characteristic bubbles (prise de mousse).
