The grapes are trodden by feet in mills and then transfered to stainless steel casks, where they ferment allowing a suble transition of the quality and components of the ripe grape's skin into the wine, with reassemply and long macerations.

The wine stages in 400 liter French oak casks, new and of second year, for 12 months, after a malolactic fermentation process.
