Vinification:

The grapes are harvested by hand and placed in plastic boxes previously sanitized, in each box are collected at most 15 kg of grapes, to avoid that during the transport there is a natural crushing of the grapes. An envelope containing dry ice is deposited on each box to keep the grapes at a right temperature to avoid early and uncontrolled fermentations. Once  arrived in the winery, the grapes are processed in a destemmer, this process allows us to split the stalks from the grains and press them, after this phase the de-stemmed grapes are placed in steel silos, where the fermentation at controlled temperature between 24/26° lasts for about 8/10 days, after the fermentation the must is stored in ripening tanks and then processed and bottled.
