Vinification |
Following a selective hand harvest in early October, the grapes stalks are removed and the subsequently crushed grapes undergo a traditional temperature controlled fermentation on the skins in stainless steel. On the second day the skins are discarded in order to reap the best perfumes with limited tannin and color extraction. Subsequently, a cold maceration is applied. The must is further fermented with select ed yeast in stainless steel temperature-controlled tanks for almost a week at 15-17°C |
