The whole bunches undergo a soft pressing and a natural removal of the lees (cold static defecation). The must produced ferments in steel tanks, at a controlled temperature of 16-18°C. The wine then rests in steel, for about 3 months, on its lees, to refine its organoleptic characteristics at a controlled temperature before being bottled.
- First vintage produced: 2008.
