Winemaking The grapes are de-stemmed, but not pressed to keep the grape intact and on about 10% of the mass we proceed with the whole-cluster vinification. Cold pre-fermentative maceration is done before the alcoholic fermentation which occurs in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature with short pumping overs daily. At the end of the fermentation, the wine is racked, and the malolactic fermentation is done part in stainless steel tanks and part in barriques. The wine is held about 9 months between barriques and stainless steel tanks until close to bottling, and then it rests for at least 6 months before release.
