Carefully hand elaborated and of limited production.
The grapes are put into vats and macerated at a controlled temperature for 8-10 days during which time they are pumped over on a daily basis to achieve the desired smell and color.  Once removed from the vats, the wine is put into barrels made of French oak for malolactic conversion and remains there until it is bottled.
