The harvest is carried out after a short drying on the plant and the bunches harvested by hand are selected before proceeding with maceration that lasts less than a week. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel silos and the wine, once all the oenological steps have been completed, rests in barrique for about 3 months.

The finish is balanced, long, persistent powerful and warm.
