After pneumatic pressing, must and gravity settling, and gentle racking at low temperature, the wine goes through alcoholic and natural malolactic fermentation in neutral oak. The wine is then matured for 11 months on fine lees in 228 and 350 L oak barrels. Bottled with light bentonite fining and unfiltered.
