- Pre-fermentation processes: Pre-fermentative cold maceration of the grape must is applied. For optimum process conditions, the grapes are left for a few hours in a cooling chamber until the right temperature (12-15°C) is reached. Duration of the pre-fermentative maceration varies from 2 to 8 hours depending on the degree of ripening until the desired degree of aromatic extraction is achieved. Then, enzymatic leaching follows.
- 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.
- Post-fermentation processes: Stirring with fine lees, decanting, filtering.
