Where does it come from

How is it produced

After gentle pressing, the must ferments in stainless steel at 18-20°C, with no malolactic fermentation to preserve freshness and acidity. Aging on fine lees lasts 8-10 months, with weekly bâtonnage to enrich the wine's structure and aromatic profile. A bottle refinement of 12-18 months follows, without any wood ageing.
