Vinification (Wine-making)

Method:As soon as the grapes are gathered they are stripped of their stalks, crushed and placed in a vat at a temperature of 12-14 °C where they are left for three days in order to better extract the varietal perfumes. This is followed by fermentation at a temperature of 28-30°C, with racking of the product at the end of fermentation. The wine matures for twelve months in small oak casks, some of which are new and some previously used.
