Vinification
Fermentation: Produced from carefully selected hand-picked grapes. After de-stemming and crushing, fermentation begins in a traditional manner with periodical pump-overs to ensure maximum extraction. Temperature is controlled at 24ºC to guarantee the wine’s fruity character.
Vineyard: Famatina Valley
Hot and dry summer days and cool nights combine with the clean air and desert-like topography of the valley to ensure outstanding ripening conditions for grapes and olives. Rain is scarce with only 4 to 8 inches per year so we source water for irrigation from 200 meter wells.
Maturation
30% of the wine is matured in French and American oak barrels and 70% in stainless steel tanks for 6 months which are then blended achieving great balance between the oak and the fruit.
