Vinification

Protected from oxidation from harvest through bottling. The grapes are gently pressed, followed by rapid cooling and clarification of the must. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at 10–12°C to preserve and enhance the varietal aromas. The wine matures in stainless steel for three months, followed by an additional three months of bottle aging.
