Bottling
Bottling was done under pressure starting from early April until summer, without adding any extra sulfur.
Winemaking
After gentle destemming, whole grapes were sent to the press. The must was driven by gravity into the cold chamber, where it remained to decant naturally for 24 hours at low temperatures. The must was inoculated with indigenous, neutral yeasts. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 14-16°C for 15 days. Bubbles developed and saturated in sealed tanks naturally for 2 months.
