Ratings & Reviews

Vinification

The super-ripe clusters are picked into ventilated 20kg boxes, after rigorous quality inspection, and brought to the cellar within a few hours from harvest. After de-stemming and pressing, 15% of the must is drawn off, the remainder is fermented at 34°C, with frequent but gentle pumpovers, followed by a lengthy maceration of 350 hours. The wine then goes to oak barrels for spontaneous malolactic fermentation.

Aging

26 months in large oak ovals of 16, 25, and 50 hl, 2 months in stainless steel tanks and 6 months in bottle.
