Vinification
Grapes are handpicked, de-stemmed and gravity fed into large wooden barrels for maceration which lasts about a month and is started with natural yeasts on the temperature at 30 degrees Celsius. We mix grapes at least three times a day and in that period wine goes through malo- lactic fermentation. After pressing it is aged at least two years in big wooden barrels (1000 to 2500l).
Wine production: Fermentation on the skins in open vats, without the addition of selected yeasts and enzym
Aging: In large wooden casks
