Vinification

The must, pressed with the grape stems, is cooled to 10°C for static decantation. Once clarified, fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 17°C. Mid-fermentation, the wine is transferred to new 500 l French oak barrels. Fermentation is then completed in the barrels with bâtonnage for 12 months. The wine ages in the bottle for a further 14 months.
