How it is made

Harvest takes place in early October through hand picking by skilled hands to ensure bunch quality. Vinification involves fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, kept under inert gas at 12°C, ideal for preserving aromatic precision. The entire process avoids oxidative inputs and focuses on defining the fruit. The wine then undergoes bottle aging, which consolidates structural balance before release.
