Vinification and Ageing
After the harvest, we keep the grapes inside the press for 5 hours at 15℃.  Then we vinified with great care, the grapes are delicately crushed.  The must ferments at a controlled temperature of about 18℃ to preserve the best characteristics of the grape.  The wine is gently stirred on the fine lees for a few months before filtered and prepared for bottling.  After the bottling we age the wine inside the bottle for at least 1 year, this way we obtain a more balanced and  a fine body, where the acidity is more delicate.
