WINE-MAKING TECHNIQUE: Classic red wine process, with prolonged contact time between marc and must to allow more colored, aromatic and tannic substances to be extracted and to make sure the wine is well structured for ageing.
WINE REFINING: Once fermentation is complete, the wine is stored in steel tanks for the first year. It is aged first in barriques, then in large barrels and then in the bottles.
