Vinification:
The grapes are carefully destemmed and the fruit are then crushed. Fermentation is carried out with maceration in temperature controlled stainless steel containers and in oak casks. The juice is pumped over the cap frequently for about three weeks, in order to extract colour and aroma compounds from the skins. The wine is then racked.

Ageing:
The wines are blended and racked into barriques, where they mature for about 18 months. The bottled wine is aged in temperature-controlled binning cellars for other 18 months.
