Vintage
The year 2021 was marked by temperatures above seasonal average. Rainy winter; very dry spring and summer. Although the beginning of summer was scorching, the cooler weather from early August onwards had a positive effect on the vegetative cycle of the vines, resulting in excellent grape ripening.
Harvest
The grapes were hand-picked on 25 August 2021 and transported to the winery in 4 kg crates by refrigerated lorry.
Vinification and Ageing
After the crates have been unloaded, the grapes are sorted on a conveyor belt. Once the grape bunches are destemmed, the grapes are gently pressed and then placed in a soft press for about four hours to macerate the skins. After gentle pressing, the must is left to settle in steel tanks at a temperature of 14 °C for 16-20 hours. Fermentation of the clear must begins by static settling until it reaches around 3 degrees of alcohol. The must is then transferred to ne-grained, elegantly toasted oak barrels to complete its fermentation. Once the alcoholic fermentation process has been completed in oak barrels, the wine continues to age, resting on its yeast lysate in barriques for at least seven months to ensure that it is smooth and supple on the palate. The wine ages in bottle fot at least 6 months before being sold.
