Vinification:
The grapes are picked at the right state of ripeness and made into wine separately in thermo-conditioned stainless steel tanks . The maceration, carried out at a temperature not higher than 28°C, is prolonged for 8-12 days. The malolactic fermentations are completed by the beginning of winter. Afterwards, there is a further refinement period in steel tanks (about 15 months) and in bottles (at least 4 months).
