Vinification
Each terroir is managed in such a way to obtain maximum balance of the plant and achieve the best varietal expression of a certain place. Ripening is carefully monitored, and grapes are harvested by hand at their peak of fruit, freshness and acidity expression. Once pressed, the must is cleaned, and fermentation begins. According to the style and potential of each place, we define if the wine is aged in oak barrels or stainless-steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation is partially carried out to preserve freshness and crispness. After a 9 month oak aging, the wine is stabilised and bottled.
