VINIFICATION PROCESS
Hand-picked at the end of September. Vinification in red. The wine is unwinded at 3⁄4 of the alcoholic fermentation to prevent the alcohol formed from extracting too many components from the skin; the wine is thus more delicate and elegant. The malolactic fermentation occurs naturally as the temperature rises after winter. This process gives further elegance and softness to the wine.
