Winemaking

The grapes that are produced for this wine are situated in Serralunga. The alcoholic fermentation happens in vertical stainless steel tanks with a maceration on the skins for about 20-30 days. After racking and malo-lactic fermentation, the wine is then placed into different sized barrels for a period of 18 to 24 months. After this aging the wines will then be ready to be bottled and will rest in bottle for another 6 months before being available to the market
