About this wine
Vinification
The wine is made from the ripest, healthiest bunches. After harvest the grapes go straight to the winery so that they stay intact. They are macerated first, then pressed over several hours. Fermentation takes place at a low temperature.
Ageing
The wine ages in stainless steel tanks, kept at the required cool temperature.
