Winemaking
At the right maturation, in order to obtain an acid heritage and a superior freshness, the harvested grapes reach the winery. Here, after the de-stemming, the crushing and a wise action of a soft press, the must immediately leaves the skins and it is cooled and clarified by flotation.
The addition of yeasts to the still warm must starts the alcoholic fermentation at 16/18°C and then it is lowered to 8/12°C. After 8 days the first transfer takes place.
Harvest

Secondary fermentation
