WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested entirely by hand from steep-slope vineyards. Winemaking begins with extremely gentle whole-cluster pressing followed by natural sedimentation to clarify the must. The base wines undergo a cool, reductive fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve fresh fruit characteristics, followed by complete malolactic fermentation to soften the sharp acidity. The sparkling wine is crafted using the traditional method (Klassische Flaschengärung), aging on its lees for 9 to 12 months. Each bottle is hand-riddled on traditional wooden desks in the estate's cellars before disgorgement.
