Vinification and Aging
After gentle crushing, alcoholic fermentation proceeds in traditional steel tanks at a temperature of 22°-25°C. Through four daily remontages (pumping over) lasting about 30 minutes each, maceration lasts 4-5 days. After this, the must is transferred to achieve good clarity. Following the completion of malolactic fermentation, the wine continues aging in steel tanks.
