Grapes are harvested at full ripening by hand mid September. Maceration and fermentation take place in big wooden barrels with the cap of the wine pushed down by hand several times per day and open pumping over procedures for about 20 days. Following the drawing off, the wine goes into barriques, 1/3 of first passage, where the wine rests for 18 months. It is ready to be enjoyed at the beginning of March.
