Production notes
Perfect maturity of the grapes during the harvest. The grapes are picked at night to preserve their natural acidity and aromas. Then, the grapes are destemmed and undergo a delicate crushing, followed by a cold pre-fermentation. Then comes a long pressing and a fermentation which is carried out at a stable temperature of 18°C in stainless steel tanks. An ageing on lees of 2 months gives the wine its roundness.
