Harvest & Vinification
Only indigenous yeasts are used and no SO2 during vinification. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out systematically. 1/3 vinified in barriques (two to three years old), 2/3 in tanks. The wine is then aged for at least nine months with only one gram of sulfur used at bottling.
