- Vinification
careful picking of the grapes. Once destemmed and crushed, grapes are put into stainless steel barrels for a first cold steeping for some days. Then the alcoholic fermentation takes place at controlled temperature with its skins – these are watered and gently processed every day. Due to the contact between the most and the skins, aromas, color and tannins are naturally conveyed – this is an essential process for the further refinement. Refinement in French oak casks for at least 16 months before bottling.
