Vinification
The varieties are fermented separately in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. During maceration, which lasts 10-15 days, pumping over and dèlestage are managed with the utmost care in order to extract only the most mature tannins. After malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine is aged in French oak barrels.
