Vinification and aging: Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled cement tanks. “Remontage” is twice daily for the first ten days. The wine is then left for a further 15 days in contact with the skins before being racked and immediately returned to 225-liter oak barrels (80% new), where malolactic fermentation takes place. The aging of the wine in wood barrels lasts about one year. The wine is then bottled and left to refine for another 6 months before being sold to the public
