Grapes harvested by hand in small crates arrive quickly at the winery where they undergo manual selection on a belt. Destemmed and not totally crushed, they are sent to truncated-conical wooden vats, where they macerate for about 10 to 12 days at a temperature of 22/25°C. Daily, for several times a day, manual punching-downs are performed to the macerating grapes using a pneumatic punching-down machine. Once fermentation is finished, the grapes are left to macerate for a few more days after which they are racked and pressed with a vertical press of the traditional type. The resulting wine rests, in 25 hl barrels, for more than a year before being bottled.
