Vinification details: Both varieties are vinified in a similar way. We chill the grapes overnight in a refrigerated room to lower the temperature to 6-8°C, thereby protecting the aromatic characteristics of the grapes. The following day, grapes are gently destemmed and softly pressed. The must remains in a tank for one night at a temperature of around 10°C, allowing the natural sedimentation of all the solid particles to occur. Wine is moved into a stainless steel tank, where it ferments at 17-19°C for 10-12 days.
