Description
VINIFICATION
The grapes are harvested in a slight over-ripening (first decade of November) and vinified according to the traditional method of long maceration, 40/60 days in a vitrified concrete tank, with frequent daily punching down, during fermentation, and filled with the skins for the remaining period. After racking, two or three decantations are carried out three or four days apart to obtain a rough decantation before going into barriques for a long aging process that lasts for about 24 months. The decanting from the barriques is followed by bottling without filtration.
