Vinification: once
in the cellar, grapes are manually selected in the rolling tape
before de-stemming and pressage. Fermentation takes place under
the highest control, in order to obtain the maximum result from
the extracting phase, with délestages and circulation pumping,
to extract color and fruitiness from the skins. Fermentation is
done under controlled temperature between 27° and 31° C, to
preserve as much as possible the original aromatic qualities of
the fruit. After the alcoholic fermentation is finished, the
wine is transferred into French oak barriques, where the
malolactic fermentation takes place. At the end of the ageing in
barrique, the wine is bottled after a careful tasting.
