Vinification
Each variety fermented separately in cement casks truncated conical cement casks of 30 hl. The yeasts are exclusively spontaneous. Extraction during the peak of fermentation varies according to the potential of the grapes, as does the post-fermentation maceration, which can last up to 20–25 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in wood and cement. After two to three days of open pump-over, only one pump-over per day is carried out closed. With frequent tastings, the moment of racking is carefully chosen (usually after about 20 days), after which the wine goes directly into barriques to carry
out malolactic fermentation.
