After the valuations about sugars and acids that establish the better period for the harvesting, the grapes are harvested and they stay for one night in the same cases in a refrigerator cell with 0-2° C. The pressing is done the day after.

In all the operations are used cold temperatures, in this way it is possible to keep more colour. Then the wine stays only in stainless steel casks.
