Production

The production process consists of a prior cold maceration of the grape skins to obtain more body and enhance the aromas. The must is then fermented in contact with the grape skins until the desired colour is obtained. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature, with pumping over daily. Malolactic fermentation takes place in vats and barrels. The ageing process begins in French and American oak barrels and later, in the bottle, the wine is refined and balanced, acquiring greater complexity and elegance.
