VINIFICATION

Fermentation lasts about 10 days, with one dèlestage in order to ensure a good extraction of aromatic and colour compounds and to allow the best extraction of polyphenols from the grapes. Extraction of the grape seeds results in a large reduction of the bitter and astringent characteristics typical of this grape. Fermentation takes place under controlled temperature, never above 28°C. 10% of the wine passes a short period of time in barrique, and after this stage, the wine refines in steel vats for approximately 2 months. 

​

BOTTLING AND AGEING

​

Sterile under nitrogen pressure. This is a wine of medium structure and body, with aromas and structure which evolve without breaking down. It should be drunk within 3 years of production, and should be stored in ideal conditions (away from light in a horizontal position at a constant temperature of 18-20°C).
