Vinification: Harvested during the first week of October. We collect the grapes and put them in small crates that are gently pressed. After the inoculation with selected yeasts we start the fermentation phase at the controlled temperature of 28° for about 10 days. The wine is drawn from the vats when the analysis indicates a correct correlation between colour and tannins.
