Hand-harvested in the first decade of October, its grapes, after a soft destemming, undergo a maceration of about 14 days. During this period, the wine also completes the alcoholic fermentation at a temperature not exceeding 20°C. It is then introduced into barriques, where malolactic fermentation ends. Subsequently, the wine is aged in oak for further 6 months and it rests in the bottle.

MOUTH
Full bodied, dry, harmonic and fairly tannic.
