Product details

Winemaking:
This wine came from a plot of Baga vines, subject to very careful and rigorous cultivation practices, given the sensitivity of this variety. The grapes were harvested by hand and carefully vinified with complete maceration in a press with a pneumatic treader. After malolactic fermentation, the wine aged for 18 months in 500-litre French oak barrels and then for 12 months in cement vats, taking advantage of the latter's thermal inertia and, as has always been our tradition, to guarantee the wine's natural stability. It was bottled without any clarifying or stabilising treatment and then matured in the bottle for 3 years.
