Vinification:
The first sorting is done in the vineyard, and only ripe and high-quality grapes are hand-picked. A new selection is carried out on vibrating sorting tables, ensuring that only high-quality grapes are used for fermentation. Subsequently, the tanks are gravity-filled without crushing the grapes. Cold maceration of whole berries takes place for 3 to 5 days at 10-12 ºC to extract color and aromas. Alcoholic fermentation with the addition of selected yeast strains is controlled at 24-26 ºC over 8-10 days, to reach 3-4 g/L residual sugar. Warm maceration follows for 7-10 days. Malolactic fermentation continues in tanks, followed by maturation for approximately 12 months in French oak barrels.
