Vinification and ageing:

The grapes dry on the vine till the end of September. Once the right degree of drying has been reached, the hand- harvested grapes are destemmed and left to ferment in an open vat in contact with the skins. When the right level of alcohol and residual sugar has been reached, fermentation is interrupted, and the wine obtained is left to ages in small oak barrels for 18 months until bottling.
