Harvest

A rather early harvest allows to obtain a product of the right gradation and acidity, preserving the floral and fruity scents. Collected strictly by hand in cassettes, with sorting of grapes on the vine and in the cellar.

Soft pressing of whole grapes with pneumatic presses. Natural cold sedimentation. The first alcoholic fermentation, carried out by autochthonous yeasts, takes place in stainless steel tanks with constant temperature control at 18 ºC. 1/3 of the base carries out the first fermentation in barrique until bottled (tirage) in spring after the year of harvest. Longer stay on the lees in harvest with frequent pumping over
