The grapes are harvested by hand in the field to select the best bunches. Once in the winery, the juice ferments in stainless steel tanks and undergoes a light aging on its lees. The wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation to maintain a certain acidity that gives it vibrancy. The wine is aged for six months and is then lightly filtered before bottling.
