WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Pinot Nero grapes are harvested manually in September from colluvial soils with southwest exposure. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled, cooled stainless steel tanks. A portion of the cuvée is aged for approximately five to twelve months in small oak barriques and French oak tonneaux before being sealed with a high-tech screw cap to preserve aromatic purity.
