WINEMAKING
The grapes are pressed and lightly macerated on the skins for 5-6 hours at 8-10° C. After separation fermentation starts at a temperature of 16-18° C. Once the fermentation process is over, the wine is settled then left on its lees undergoing daily remontages for about a month thereby taking advantage of the lysis of the yeast.
