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 French oak and partly in stainless steel before being bottled.
