WINEMAKING
-
Harvest time: third
week of September.
-
Harvest method:
grapes are hand-picked and collected in small cases.
-
Vinification: after
being picked and collected, grapes are immediately transferred
into big refrigeration rooms within the cellar, in order to cool
down the fruit temperature before being pressed; this is a very
useful system to preserve the original varietal’s aroma. The
must obtained from the press, undergoes macerations on the skins
at cold temperature, which helps to extract the maximum scent
from the skins. It follows alcoholic fermentation in stainless
steel vats at controlled temperature of never exceeding 16°C.
Once the fermentation is over, the wine is kept at a cold
temperature of 10°C, in order to avoid the malolactic
fermentation to take place.
