The harvest is carefully done by hand to select only the best grapes. Handpicking guarantees strict quality control and preserves the freshness of the berries. In the cellar, traditional fermentation takes place in controlled temperatures to preserve the fruity and spicy aromas. The maceration lasts six to eight days, ensuring optimal extraction of color and aroma compounds.
The maturation mainly occurs in new and used French oak barrels. This aging process lasts about 12 to 14 months, during which the wine gains complexity and finesse. The wooden barrel aging imparts fine vanilla and toast notes to the wine without overpowering the traditional fruit. Regular bâtonnage (stirring of lees) promotes yeast suspension, which makes the body smoother and the flavor more nuanced.
