The grapes are de-stemmed, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 26-28°C. The must-wine stays on the lees for 8-10 days; racking takes place after the end of the alcoholic fermentation; malolactic fermentation is completely carried out in steel; conservation on fine lees aimed at promoting maturation and increasing the complex taste and aroma takes place partly in steel and partly in wood.
Bottling is scheduled during summer, bottle aging lasts approximately 3 months.
