Viticulture

Guyot vine training. After manual harvest, the bunches are destemmed and crushed, and the must is left to macerate with the skins for 24-36 hours. Fermentation with native yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks (18-20°C) lasts about 25 days. After fermentation, the wine spends 1-2 months on the lees without stirring, a total of six months in stainless steel, and a minimum of two months in bottle before release. Total production is about 750 cases per year.
