Harvest

Vinification

After removing the stems, the grapes remain intact to maintain their structure, reducing any harm to the skins and maximizing the extraction of color. The fermentation process takes place at a precise temperature range of 24-25°C for 8-10 days. During the initial fermentation phase, we carry out regular pumping over and rack-and-return techniques to ensure a delicate blend of flavors and smooth tannins. Once racked, we introduce malolactic bacteria to encourage malolactic fermentation, enhancing the wine’s depth and complexity.
