Vinification
The grapes are harvested late by hand in the second / third decade of September and then placed in the drying room: drying takes about 60 days. In this period the grapes lose about 40% of their weight. Then, the bunches are pressed whole and the must thus obtained carries out a static decantation. It ferments part in stainless steel tanks and part in oak barrels. This is followed by aging in French oak tonneaux for at least two years.
