Picked by hand from the vine in 15 kilos baskets, grapes are transported quickly to the cellar and gently placed in the de-stemmer and crusher machine.

Wine-making:
Fermentation in stainless steel tanks;
Controlled pressure and temperature during fermentation; Racking without pressing the peels; Aging in medium-toasted French-oak barrels for eighteen months and a minimum of three months of bottle aging.
