Description
VINIFICATION
Manual harvest is carried out in shallow boxes, the grapes are crushed and the juice remains on the skin in cold maceration for about 18-24 hours to favour the extraction of colour and the most noble aromatic precursors of Pinot Noir. Then there is a soft pressing, the fermentation and a long period of the base wine on the yeasts. It is stored in steel tanks and then bottled the following spring with selected added yeasts. After a period of aging of at least 24 months the manual remuage is performed followed by the disgorgement and the subsequent packaging.
