Production method

The grapes come from vineyards that are at least 10 years old. The grapes are harvested manually and transported to the cellar, where they are destemmed and pressed. Subsequently the grapes are placed in stainless steel containers where they start a spontaneous fermentation thanks to indigenous yeasts; during this process the wine undergoes frequent punching down. The wine obtained is aged in Allier and Slavonian oak barrels ranging in size from 5 to 35 hl for 18-24 months, where it also carries out the malolactic fermentation. After a few months in the bottle, the wine is finally released on the market.
