Vinification: The grapes after having undergone an extreme thinning on the plant in June, are strictly hand-picked. Then comes the de-stemming and the gentle pressing. The must thus obtained is left to ferment with yeasts remaining in contact with the skins for about 20 days. During this phase, pumping over is frequent to favor the passage of the color and of the noble, characteristic components of an important red wine from the skins to the fermenting must. After the drawing off, the wine will remain to rest in French oak, 5 hl barrels for more than two years. It will be placed at the consumer's judgment after a last period of rest and refinement in bottle.
