Vineyards

Preparation

Once the fruit has benn chosen, the preparation is based on de-stemming the bunches and a light pressing of the grapes, prior to alcoholic and malolactic fermentation

Ageing

The wine is aged in medium-roasted white American (Ohio) and French oak barrels for 14 months, with decanting every 4 months to facilitate the natural filtering process. It then stays for 6 months in the bottle for refinement.
