Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, allowing for a delicate extraction of aromas. Aging, lasting 12 to 15 months, occurs in French oak barrels, some of which are new. This aging period imparts a harmonious structure and subtle woody notes to the wine, while preserving the expression of the fruit. Each vintage is the result of a collective effort that blends tradition and innovation.
