After approximately 10/15 days and careful sorting, the dried grapes are destemmed and subjected to light pressing to break the grapes, then sent to maceration for approximately 8/10 days in stainless steel containers at a controlled temperature; followed by soft pressing. Fermentation continues partly in stainless steel and partly in barriques, where the wine completes its maturation.
