In the cellar the stalks are removed from the grapes and then placed in stainless steel tanks, here the must undergoes maceration for 14 days with the skins at a temperature of 20/25 degrees, and subjected to hand plunging 3 times per day, so as to allow submerged cap fermentation. The next step is racking, subjecting the wine to soft pressing at 1.0 atmospheres. 

AGING 

The wine is aged for about 24 months in steel tanks completely filled and blanketed with Argon or Nitrogen, and every 30 days it is worked with Batonnage. The wine continues its aging in bottle for about another 12 months before marketing.
