Grapes are harvested at peak ripeness (late September / early October), destemmed and crushed. The must undergoes alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks (25-28°C). Following alcoholic fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation. The wine is then transferred to the French oak barrels (225 l) for maturation for 6-8 months.
