WINE MAKING PROCESS
Harvesting occurs at night and in early morning hours to preserve freshness and avoid oxidation. Juice is immediately drained and chilled to 8°C prior to gentle pneumatic pressing. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats between 14°C and 18°C for 21 days. The wine ages for 5 to 6 months on fine lees in stainless steel vats without oak contact or malolactic fermentation before filtration.
