Pneumatic pressing (Bucher press). Only the free-run juice and the first press are used, in order to obtain a maximum expression of fruit and aromas while respecting a natural process to obtain a structured and supple wine at the same time. The blending takes place in November, the wine is then aged in cement tanks for 4 months before being bottled.
