    TECHNOLOGICAL MENTIONS

    Harvesting has made manually in the period of late August-early September. The grapes are gently pressed. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 13-14° C for 28 days. Here the wine remains for some months and during this time we make one batonages a week. In March/April we prepare the wine for the second fermentation in the bottle that will last about 60 days. The wine is refined with its lees for 55 months keeping the bottles horizontally in a undergroud room of the cellar. Following the bottles can be placed on pupitres for manual riddling, careful preparation and essential for the final disgorgement “ a la glace”
