Once the grapes are harvested, they undergo a gentle maceration process, during which the bunches are carefully handled to ensure maximum extraction of aromas and flavors. Following maceration, fermentation takes place in hermetically sealed horizontal tanks saturated with carbon dioxide. During fermentation, the temperature is carefully controlled and maintained at a maximum of 25 degrees Celsius. This temperature control is essential for preserving the wine's freshness and vibrancy. Finally, the wine is aged for several months in oak barrels.
