Harvest & Vinification
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, with 25% of the stalks. The must remains in contact with the cap for five weeks, which allows for a very gentle maceration and keeps extraction under control. The wine is then matured for 20 months in two 1000 Liter German Fuder barrels, which are more than 60 years old. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
