Vinification 

Hand picked and taken to the press. The must obtained is then transferred either to stainless-steel vats for the alcoholic fermentation to begin. This continues for about three weeks at low temperature (between 15-18°C). During this stage, the yeasts transform the sugar in the grapes into alcohol.  Once alcoholic fermentation is finished, a secondary fermentation known as “malolactic” is triggered: lactic bacteria turn the malic acid naturally present in the wine into lactic acid. This process reduces the acidity of the wine and stabilizes it.
