Winemaking and ageing
Mechanical harvesting. Rapid destemming and crushing of the grapes. Skin contact for part of the crop followed by pressing. Cold settling of the must. Alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature until the sugar is used up, to provide a dry wine, in the presence of yeasts selected according to the required profile. Ageing on fine lees.
