Vinification details: The winemaking process begins with a cold pre-fermentation at 10°C, followed by fermentation at 27°C on the first day and 24°C for the next four days. A seven-day maceration at 24°C with daily pumping ensures optimal extraction. After gentle pressing in a pneumatic press, the first presses are combined. Prior to malolactic fermentation, 50% of the wine is transferred to 225-liter oak barrels. The wine then ages for six months in American barrels, with 20% being new oak. In May, the wine is filtered and bottled, ready to showcase its refined character.
