2020

Le uve vengono pigiate delicatamente e raffreddate a 10/12 °C. Questo consente di portare i tempi di macerazione fino a oltre 24 ore, limitando l’estrazione di tannini. La svinatura avviene quando il mosto ha raggiunto la tonalita e le caratteristiche ottimali. Alla fine della fermentazione alcolica, svolta a 16 °C, il vino matura sur lies per circa 4 mesi. Da bere subito o conservare per 2-3 anni.
