Vinification:
The grapes were handpicked, and fermentation took place in special stainless steel tanks for fermenting and macerating red wines, state-of-the-art tanks equipped with automated pumps for liquid recirculation, as well as in rotary tanks (ROTO), where a more intense maceration occurs. The "cold maceration" method was applied for 5-8 days, followed by fermentation at a temperature of 24-25°C for 8-10 days. Subsequently, the wine was matured in French oak barriques for 18 months.
