Vinification

The grapes are collected in little containers ready to be pressed. Pumping and any other means of intervention are avoided to retain true expression of the grape. Once pressed, for a few hours the must is decanted. The Juice is fermented in temperature -controlled Vats around 18-24 degrees. The Wine is racked once before being naturally clarified through winter months. Come Spring time the Wine is gently filtered prior to bottling. Extensive ageing happens before they are released.
