Vinification
Grapes are hand harvested and destemmed. Fermentation takes place in used 500, and 1200-liter barrels, and the juice spends about 3 weeks in contact with the skins. The wine goes through elevage in the same barrels for about 12 months, with no batonnage. The wine is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with zero addition of sulfur. Certified Organic & Biodynamic. Aerate the wine well before consuming as it may have a natural spritz which can be too much for some consumers.
Ideal drinking temperature 14 °C.
