Part of the harvest is trodden in marble vats and partially destemmed. The remainder undergoes fermentation at controlled temperatures in stainless steel vats, with long post-fermentation maceration. This is followed by malolactic fermentation in barrels. Aged for 12 months in French oak half barrels.

Disclaimer:
The photo shown is a copy of one of the bottles we have available for delivery. Keep in mind that the older the wine, the more likely the bottle will have some external dirt or slightly damaged labels. This does not mean, however, that the wine is not in a condition to be consumed.
The wines from our rarity zone are stored and air-conditioned in the most correct way so that the wine ages correctly in the bottle, but over time, the wine evolves and changes its characteristics.
We recommend that you carefully remove the cork and let the wine air for some time in order to release its natural aromas. Avoid decanting as it can be a very aggressive operation for old wines.
