Grape harvesting: The actual harvest begins after about 15/20 days of drying, generally around the first half of October. The grapes are then taken to the cellar for a further qualitative selection and are then destined for winemaking

Wine making: The grapes are harvested at the best degree of sugar and phenolic maturity and delicately destemmed and pressed. Once the fermentation- maceration has begun within controlled temperature stainless steel fermenters, frequent refills and délestage are performed for about seven days to facilitate the extraction of the aromatic and phenolic component from the skins. Subsequently grinding takes place and the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation is terminated. The wine is left to mature in stainless steel tanks for about 5 months. When this period is completed bottling is carried out followed by refining in the bottle before being marketed
