The grapes are strictly hand-harvested towards the end of September, upon reaching optimal ripeness, and are transported to the winery to start the alcoholic fermentation. The latter takes place in stainless steel tanksat controlled temperature and is followed by a maturation of about 8 months on the fine lees, to give this territorial white body and sensory richness.
