1. The grapes are hand-harvested to secure the best fruit and ensure gentle picking. Emphasis is placed on ripeness and freshness to highlight the finesse of the variety.

2. After hand harvesting, a gentle cold maceration takes place, extracting nuanced aromas and bringing the elegant fruit into the glass. The mash is then fermented in stainless steel tanks, where controlled temperature fermentation preserves the wine’s freshness and delicate tannin structure. The slow fermentation develops complex aromas and a harmonious acid profile.
