The harvest takes place after the second half of September. The grapes are cryo-macerated for 24 hours in stainless steel tanks in order to extract the most out of their aromas. Then, the alcoholic fermentation takes place at a 64°F controlled temperature, over a three-week period. The wine is refined for 4 months in stainless-steel tanks and in bottle an additional 4-6 months. |
