Manual selection of the grapes in the field, they are put into crates and brought to the cellar within a few hours, followed by secondary selection carried out by our Selectiv ‘Process Winery of Volentieri-Pellenc, the linear destemming system that allows us to eliminate any residue green maintaining the best integrity of the berries and allowing us to use only the berries that reached the perfect phenolic maturity.

Then the wine is drawn off leaving only the fine lees with which it starts aging in second-passage American oak barrels and second-passage French oak tonneau in which the malolactic fermentation takes place.
