Winemaking process

The selected and cut bunches are transported to the cellar where they are destemmed and pressed. Fermentation begins spontaneously thanks to the native yeasts present in the grape skin. The subsequent maceration lasts for over 20 days at controlled temperature of 15 degrees and over this step the skin slowly releases color, structure and aromas to the wine.

Maturation

4 months in steel tanks
