The grapes are harvested by hand in the cooler hours of the morning, crushed immediately and then lightly pressed for short time in order to limit the extraction of color and tannins. The resulting must settles 72 hours in stainless steels tanks at a temperature of 5 °C, then is racked and the alcoholic fermentation starts, at a controlled temperature of 15 °C. Afterwards, the wine is kept for 5 months on fine lees at a temperature of 10 °C, avoiding malolactic fermentation. This is followed by 3-4 months stabilization until bottling
