Wine-Making and Processing: grape bunches are hung individually for 4 months in rooms where fireplaces are occasionally lit for the smoking. A manual selection of the grape then follows, preceded by a pressing in three phases (for a total of 15 hrs): this process will yield three choices. The must is then cooled for 5 days in order to decant the bulk of the dregs, then, nearly clear, is set to ferment. At the end of this process it will be transferred to 112 litre demi-barriques, not filled up completely to allow oxidization, over a period of 36 months. The unfiltered result is then prepared and bottled.
