Vinification

Manual selection of grapes on vibrating table and sorting with the ginner selecting the gleaners.

Soft pressing followed by spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in contact with the skins in temperature-controlled steel tanks for about 35 days with submerged cap.

After fermentation, the wine is moved to 75hl Stockinger Austrian oak barrels where it will remain for at least 18 months; malolactic fermentation takes place in the barrel.

Bottling takes place in June of the third year after the harvest and is followed by an additional 14 months of bottle aging.
