WINEMAKING only the carefully selected grapes from the oldest vineyards are brought into the winery. Fermentation starts spontaneously without any additional yeast. The must remains in truncated conical wooden vats for 30 days and un- dergoes frequent manual punching of the cap and pumping-o- ver. Following fermentation/maceration the grape marc is delicately removed from the vats and undergoes soft pressing. The wine remains in the vat for another couple of days and then it is racked into new barriques. Malolactic fermentation occurs in the barriques.
AGEING
Over a period of 36 months minimum ageing in wood the wine is racked regularly according to the moon’s phases. It is finally assembled and remains in large oak tanks for another 6 months. It ages in the bottle for 4 months before being relea- sed onto the market.
