Tight selection in the vineyard, with some vines harvested more than once, picking the most mature ones first and the rest in a second harvest. Direct whole bunch press for settling tanks, three fractions being separated, without any use of SO2 until the end of fermentation, in order to allow pre-oxidation of the must and a fuller spontaneous fermentation.
