The decision of using dedicated equipment and sustainable practices in the winery aims to obtain an artisanal, high-quality wine where the human creativity is palpable.
The grapes are manually selected, placed in small crates, moved into the crusher destemmer, where the berries are lightly crushed. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration take place in 1320-Gal stainless-steel tanks; skin contact with the must varies from 12 to 15 days, with pumping over for the first two days followed by two délestages a day with temperature control. The marc is pressed through a hydraulic vertical press with a stainless steel cage.
