The grapes are carefully selected and are then pressed. The mass is pressed after a short period of cold maceration in order to extract the maximum amount of aromas and then transferred to a soft press to obtain top quality must. The must is transferred to temperature-controlled containers to start alcohol fermentation which takes place at a temperature of 16°- 18°C for roughly 10 days. After various filtrations, the wine is bottled and refined for one month.
