Cellar
Tradition and precision in harmony
the three grape varieties are harvested together to form a balanced cuvée right from the beginning. After a four-day cold maceration, fermentation begins on the skins over two days. The pressed must then ferments spontaneously at a controlled temperature of 18 °C in stainless steel. The wine matures for 15 months on the fine lees in used barriques – a gentle ageing process that imparts structure, finesse, and depth.
