Wine Making
Wine Making
After 4 days of cold maceration the fermentation process follows under temperature controlled conditions. The juice is gently pumped over the skins during fermentation which is long and even ensuring good aromatic and colour extraction. 20% of this wine is aged in 2nd and 3rd year casks, and the remaining part is aged in stainless steel tanks in order to retain the typical fruity character.
