Vinification and refining
The ripe grapes were crushed and placed in automatic stainless steel vertical fermenters, where they fermented on the skins for 7/10 days at a controlled temperature of 24-27°C with the addition of Saccharomyces Bayanus yeast. The malolactic fermentation was then induced following removal of the coarse lees, and the wine matured partly in stainless steel before bottling.
