Vinification

First selection is performed on the vineyard and only good full mature grapes are hand-picked, then carefully selected again on sorting tables. The philosophy is to ferment only good quality of grapes. The tanks are filled by gravity without crush the grapes. Cold maceration of whole berries is performed from 5 to 8 days at 14 - 16 Celsius. Alcohol fermentation with addition of selected yeast strains is controlled at 26-28 Celsius during 8-10 days, in order to reach 3-4 g/l residual sugar, followed by maceration from 5 to 8 days in concrete tanks 10 degrees thermoregulated. Malolactic fermentation continues in tanks, then ageing for about 12 months in oak barrels.
