Vinification
Harvested at the beginning of August, grapes are pressed directly in a pneumatic press, and then the must is cooled down for natural settling without adding any substances to aid in this clarification process.
When the must became sufficiently clear, fermentation began at a controlled temperature (around 16ºC) in stainless steel tanks. Once the right density was reached, bottles were stacked in the cellar “en rima” where fermentation finished, either shortly after or by the following spring.
The wine was aged for twelve months on lees before disgorgement. No liqueur d'expedition was added, nor did dosage take place. Bottles were topped up with the same wine in cases where a lot of was lost during the disgorgement process.
