VINIFICATION AND REFINING — The grapes are harvested by machine, then steeped in a cold horizontal press for eight hours and the must is cleaned through settling. The fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 15°C. Once the fermentation is completed, the product thus obtained is left maturing in the same tanks at a controlled temperature for about four months. At the end of this period, the wine is assembled and bottled. There follows a further long period of refining in the bottle before the wine is distributed.
