- Production method: Cuve close
- Production of base wine: For the production of the base wine, early harvesting is carried out, aiming for grapes with low sugar content, low final alcohol content, and high acidity.
- Base wine pre-fermentation processes: For optimum process conditions, the grapes are kept for a few hours in a cooling chamber until the right temperature (12-15°C) is reached before being taken to the press. At the stage when the must is taken from the press, the classic method of making sparkling wine is followed, selecting the appropriate fraction for the base wine. Then, enzymatic leaching follows.
- Base wine alcoholic fermentation: Destemmed musts are inoculated with selected yeasts. Slow, controlled alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks featuring an automated heating-cooling system.
- Second fermentation for the production of sparkling wine: A second alcoholic fermentation takes place in small autoclave tanks at a very slow rate and at low controlled temperatures to produce the sparkling wine.
- Base wine post-fermentation processes: This is followed by maceration with fine lees for several months.
