Vinification
Harvesting is done by hand and produced by using extremely delicate methods of production. The maceration process takes place in stainless-steel vats and is then periodically amalgamated so as to obtain a higher extraction of the colour and of scent. During this period that lasts about 20 days the wine terminates its alcoholic fermentation at a temperature of approximatetely 28°. The wine is subsequently in part placed in new French “barriques” (Allier and Troncasse) and the other part is placed in second-hand used “barriques” for a duration of eighteen months
How to serve
Open the bottle for about 20 minutes before drinking (decant if possible) and serve at a temperature of 18/20 °C.
