VINIFICATION
After harvesting, the grapes are pressed as whole clusters to extract minimal color, resulting in a delicate pink hue, similar to onion skin. The clarified must is fermented at low temperatures to enhance the elegant notes of fresh fruits, such as cherry and blackcurrant, characteristic of this grape variety. The aromatic complexity is achieved through malolactic fermentation obtained by aging on fine lees. The second fermentation takes place in a controlled-temperature autoclave, followed by an additional six months of aging on the lees.
