Vinification
We pick the selected grapes at 20-22% of sugariness and 6-8 titratable acidity. After removing the stem and de-pressing, fermentation proceeds at a 23-28°C in stainless steel reservoirs. We add the pure culture yeast. Following the 12-15 day maceration, we move the wine into 300 L French oak barrels, for 9-12 month ageing.
