Winemaking
The grapes come from selected plots in which they are able to reach full maturity verging on over-ripeness. Extraction is thorough due to numerous devatting and pumping over interventions performed throughout the fermentation process. Final maceration under heat lasting 30 days is reinforced by punch-downs. Tannin extraction is monitored daily in order to obtain a wine with accomplished structure without any aggressiveness.
