Viticulture
These vines are trained in the Espalier with spurred cordon system.
Vinification
After de-stemming, the grapes are not crushed, allowing them to remain intact, reducing damage to the skins and optimizing colour extraction. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 23-25°C for approximately10 days. Frequent remontage and delestage are carried out in the early stages of fermentation in order to achieve soft extraction of aromas and gentle tannins. After racking, malolactic bacteria are added to induce the second fermentation.
Maturation
20% of the wine is aged in oak
