Vinification
in the cellar the grapes are still carefully selected, then pressed, destemmed and sent to the winemakers. The alcoholic fermentation on the skins allows the extraction of all the valuable substances contained in them: from the fruity to the polyphenols up to the tannins. Each step takes place at a controlled temperature. Once the pomace has been separated, the wine goes into steel tanks
Aging
15 years
