Vinification: the bunches, previously selected in the vineyard, with spring defoliation work first and then thinning out at veraison, are rigorously harvested by hand at the optimal time of ripening. Once in the cellar, the grapes are destemmed and, subsequently, delicately pressed before arriving in the stainless steel tank, where after an inoculation of selected yeasts begins the process of alcoholic fermentation and contact of the liquid (must) with the skins at temperature. controlled (25°-27 ° C). This process is followed daily with frequent pumping over and delestage to ensure the extraction of only the most noble part of the skins, namely the sweet tannins, color and aromas for a period ranging from 12 to 15 days. At the end of the fermentation and the optimal extraction obtained, the new wine is separated from the skins and, after a short period of decanting in the tank to eliminate the coarser parts, it is sent to the malolactic fermentation which takes place in a variable period between 15 and 25 days. At the end of this last phase, the wine is decanted and placed to age in 25 hl Slavonian oak barrels and in 225 liter French oak barrels, where it remains for 18 months before being prepared for bottling.
