VINIFICATION
A cold skin maceration at 8 °C takes place in stainless steel

of aromas and flavors characteristic of the variety. The musts
then drain by gravity without external pressure, full of aromas
and released from the skins, and ferment in stainless steel
tanks at low temperatures (15 °C). Once the alcoholic
ermentation is finished, the wine is then clarified, stabilized at
temperatures of -2 °C and filtered. Conservation takes place in
stainless steel tanks
