Grape harvesting
Grape harvesting: The harvest begins in mid-September with the verification of the grape ripening in different locations of the vineyards and continues until the beginning of October. Subsequently, the grapes are taken to the cellar for further qualitative selection and then destined for wine making.
Wine making
Wine making: The grapes are delicately de-stemmed and immediately undergo a light cryomaceration for a short period. Subsequently they are delicately pressed and the must is obtained and placed in stainless steel containers where the first alcoholic fermentation takes place. The wine is left to age in the same containers for a few months. Bottling follows in the presence of complete oxidation. It then undergoes a further 40 months of aging in its own yeasts which enhances the refining process. The bottles are then placed horizontally on special racks, called “pupitres”, and are manually and daily rotated and tilted to allow the yeasts to settle towards the bottle neck before the final disgorgement or dégorgement, called “à la volée”, just as art and ancient tradition dictates.
