Vinification
Depending on the year, harvest begins Sept. 3rd-10th and ends on Sept. 13th-20th. In 1996, the grapes were gathered between Sept. 9th and Sept. 13th.
Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats only, at a temperature of 17-20° C, with partial malolactic fermentation. The wine is left on the lees at low temperatures for some time, in order to gain a durability of 2-3 years.
Through the adoption of some simple techniques, the carbon dioxide developed during malolactic fermentation is preserved to maintain some degree of effervescence. Sulphur dioxide is limited to a minimum, in order to increase its protective power at the time of bottling and accordingly cut doses down by 30%.
