Every single parcel of the 26 properties is vinified separately

Soft pressing of whole grapes with pneumatic presses. Natural cold sedimentation. The first alcoholic fermentation, carried out by native yeasts, takes place in French oak barrels, where it will remain there for 8 months with the fine lees and fermentation yeasts with battonage operations until bottling (tirage) in the spring following the year of harvest. Longer stay on the lees in harvest with frequent pumping over

Re-fermentation and taking of foam in the bottle with selected yeasts and subsequent aging of the same for a minimum of 96 months in underground cellars at a constant temperature between12° and 15°. More yeasts have been added during the draught, reaching a percentage of 5%.
