Vinification
Destem the grapes and let them remain in the tank for approximately 20-30 days, with 3 infusions per day. 1-2 months in tank. Mature for
18 months in oak barrels (we use 225lt and 500lt barrels in 60-40% relative rate, 20% new and 80% second hand). The final product allowed to rest in the tank at least for one month and then in the bottle unfiltered!! The final product stay in the winery for 6 months in the bottle and finally to the markets.
Decanting is recommended (or at least open up the bottle at least 30 min earlier)
