| Harvest Period | Manually into baskets in late September when the grapes reach full maturity. |
| Vinification | After harvesting the grapes are destemmed and then cold macerated in an environment saturated with inert gasses. This followed by soft pressing of the grapes and cold settling of the must. The settled part is transferred into barriques where first alcoholic then malolactic fermentation takes place. |
