Vinification and maturation
The grapes are slightly dried in the field using traditional techniques such as "cutting the vine shoot" and "pinching the peduncle." The hand harvest, which is relatively late, takes place during the cooler hours of the morning, exclusively from the “Cantagrillo” vineyard. A portion of the harvest is then vinified in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, while another portion is fermented and aged in acacia barriques and Fontainebleau oak tonneaux, where both fermentation and an approximately 6-month élevage with weekly bâtonnage take place. In both cases, malolactic fermentation is prevented. Afterward, the wine undergoes blending and bottling during the summer months. Finally, the wine is left to mature in the bottle for approximately 12 months.
