Meticulous and repeated hand-harvesting of grapes from our oldest vines, around 45 years old. The harvest takes place in three distinct, optimal stages and is always carried out at cool temperatures. In the third stage, we pick fully ripe grapes and, in small part, slightly overripe ones to preserve the fine berry notes – such as raspberry. About 20% of the grapes are fermented as whole clusters, while the rest are destemmed. After a 1–3 day cold maceration, fermentation follows under temperature control, kept below 24 °C. The wine then matures for around 18 months in new French oak barrels. It is bottled without filtration.
