The vineyard is processed according to integrated pest management methods, with low environmental impact, with techniques designed only for the production of this wine (e.g. floral abortion and over-ripening in the vineyard).

Harvest period: first days of September, depending on the degree of phenolic ripeness and climatic conditions.  .
Harvesting Method: by hand in perforated crates, in order to allow good aeration of the grapes, early in the morning from 06.00 to 08.00 to have a low temperature of the grapes. These crates are transported to the cellar to be crushed-destemmed as for a red wine with the addition of dry ice in the tank, to immediately bring the temperature of the must to 0 degrees of temperature. Cryo maceration begins for 120 hours at 0°. 
Then we move on to pressing to separate the skins and seeds. Fermentation begins, carried out at low temperatures: 9°, very slow about 35 days. Racking is carried out and decanting begins in steel tanks at a temperature of 3° for about 25 days. The same operation is repeated 3 times, in order to achieve adequate clarification in a natural way, without any use of clarifying substances. From this moment on, the aging phase begins entirely in steel up to bottling.
