Wine-making
In this vineyard the yield per vine cannot be more than 2 kg, that is why we make a double clearing, one at the beginning and the other one at the end of August.
The grape harvest is manual and it is divided in two times, the second one about 6-10 days after the first one.
The fermentation is developed in stainless steel macerators for 15 days, so that the correct contact skin-most and the adequate extraction of colour are guaranteed. After this process the wine stays in tonneaux (containing lt. 500) for 24 months, where the malo-lactic process is developed, then the wine stays again in stainless steel casks for 12 months. The wine is then bottled and rests in the wine cellar 8 months longer. About 4 years after the vintage the wine is ready to enter the market.
