Harvest
Manual from the first half of October
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand from the first light of day until 11:00 am, destemmed and pressed, only the free-run must is used. The low temperatures of the must allow an initial static decantation with separation of an initial sedimentation, subsequently the spontaneous yeasts are activated with cadenced oxygenations, the fermentation foot is not used. Once fermentation is complete, decanting and oxygenation allow the wine to be cleaned naturally and prevent reductions. Aged for about three months on the fine lees, it is then bottled without filtration or addition of sulphur, usually with the waning moon of April.
