Harvest for this wine takes place in the middle of October. The grapes are hand-picked and, then, they are gently crushed. After that, the mash of berries must go for fermentation in stainless steel tanks for 20 days. The malolactic fermentation takes place in big casks where the wine is also aged for 10 months. Then, it is bottled and aged for 1 additional month prior to its release. |
