No ageing in wood but it is made a slight ageing in stainless steel tanks, followed by a natural settling. Finally natural fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks. All the operations after the fermentation are made using nitrogen in order to protect the wine from oxygen, to preserve aromatic and colorant substances and to limit the use of sulfites
