WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested entirely by hand and undergo a rigorous double sorting process, first of the bunches and then of individual berries using optical sorting technology. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged for 24 months in French oak barriques, utilizing a combination of new and used wood, before finishing its refinement in the bottle prior to release.
