A history
Manually harvested grapes are placed in 50 kilo crates which are taken immediately to the winery and emptied onto a conveyor belt equipped with a destemmer (latest model). This allows conservation of the entire grape. Harvest is placed in a temperature controlled stainless steel tank. Alcoholic fermentation for a week or more. Ageing in 400 litre barrels with malolactic fermentation. This kind of barrel promotes subtle and complex aromas and at the same time respects the fruit without too many woody notes.
