Interesting facts
They use grapes that are exclusively hand-picked in the first fifteen days of October and delivered to the winery in small boxes. The vineyards consist mainly of old vines, the age of which exceeds 90 years. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks is carried out at a strictly controlled temperature of 24 ºC, ensuring freshness for the future wine. Also, in order to preserve the naturalness of the fruit aromas, malolactic fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels. To allow enthusiasts to fully appreciate the wine's characteristics, it is neither filtered nor fined before bottling.
