Vinification of La Source Syrah

This red wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Syrah. Only the best harvest was used for this exceptionally powerful, pure varietal wine from La Source. In the Aosta Valley, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on sandy soils. At the optimal ripeness, the grapes for the Syrah are harvested exclusively by hand without the use of strenuous and less selective machines. Once hand-harvested, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here, they are sorted and gently destemmed. Subsequently, fermentation takes place in a stainless steel tank at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the Syrah can further harmonize on the fine lees for several months.
