Vinification

12 to 20 hours of maceration before pressing in order to obtain color. Pneumatic pressing. Static racking of the must. Electronic thermo-regulated fermentation (16- 20°) in stainless steel tanks for a period of 3 weeks. No malolactic fermentation. Maturation on fine lees.

Tasting Notes

A pretty bouquet of watermelon and light raspberry with notes of a sea shell mineral quality to the light red berry fruit on the palate.
