WINEMAKING TECHNIQUE
Grapes are harvested in the fall once they’ve reached peak ripeness. As the grape bunches are very loose their yield is quite low. The bunches are characterized by a high percentage of smaller than common sized grapes, also known as sweet berries. For this reason, they have particularly concentrated aromas, extracts and sugars. The grapes then undergo a natural drying process, and therefore concentration, directly in the vineyard. After harvest the grapes are are lightly pressed and fermentation is done on the grape skins at a controlled temperature. Finally, the wine is aged in steel tanks and then in the bottle for a few more months
