THE VINIFICATION

The vinification is carried out by soft pressing of the grapes with a pneumatic vacuum press with the use of inert gas, minimizing the contact between air and crushed grapes during the entire pressing phase. The must obtained, decanted for 24-48 hours, is transferred to stainless steel vats where fermentation begins, which takes place at a controlled temperature of 15-17 ° C with the addition of selected indigenous yeasts. The wine obtained, at the end of fermentation, is left in contact with its own yeasts for an aging of about 4 - 5 months (sur lie).
