Vinification and refining
The ripe grapes were crushed and placed in automatic stainless steel vertical fermenters, where they fermented on the skins for 8/12 days at a controlled temperature of 26-29°C with the addition of Saccharomyces Bayanus yeast. The malolactic fermentation was then induced following removal of the coarse lees. After maturing partly in small toasted French oak barrels for 12-14 months, the
wine was left for 4 months in stainless steel before being bottled.
