Wine-making
Also if it is a young, fresh and fruity wine, in these vineyards is done a double clearing.
The fermentation is done in stainless steel casks with temperatures of 25-26° C; this allows to have good colour, fragrance and aroma. At the end of the above-mentioned operation, the wine is transferred in wood casks of 150-200 litres and in French barriques already used for two times. After the malo-lactic, the wine remains in wood just to the summer and in July it is bottled.
The wine is introduced on the market in September, one year after the harvesting.
