Vinification
The grapes were harvested both by hand and mechanically at the beginning of April. They were placed in stainless steel tanks for a short pre-fermentation maceration of 2 days, when the juice was then inoculated with yeasts to begin alcoholic fermentation, which occurred over 8 days at temperatures between 22 and 25oC. Once fermentation finished, the wine was racked and remained in contact with oak for 3 months. The wine was lightly filtered prior to bottling.
