Vinification
It is a varietal that matures around mid-September, harvested at perfect phenolic and aromatic maturity. After destemming, alcoholic fermentation with skin contact takes place over several days. Malolactic fermentation follows, using selected bacteria, and the wine then undergoes extended maturation in French barriques that are at least 2-3 years old.
