"WINEMAKING The clusters are carefully destemmed prior to alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. A prolonged maceration with the skin lasts for up to 20 days in order to extract colour, aromas and density in the mouth. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in new barrels and stainless steel tanks, depending on the plots and their origin. Once the process has been concluded, the wines are rested in barrels and racked every 6 months."
