In the cellar
In the cellar
In the cellar, the grapes for this Cabernet Sauvignon are selected by an optical sorter, capable of identifying only the best quality bunches, and then placed in French fermentation barrels.
The must is left to rest in the cold for a few days and then slowly brought to temperature. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally in the barrels.
The wine then matures for 24 months in 80% new French oak barrels. After bottling the wine is finally aged in the bottle for another 24 months.
