The bunches are destemmed and crushed , after which they undergo a short maceration of 2-4 hours, after which the musts are transferred partly in wood and partly in stainless steel vats, where alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature. Only the parcels vinified in barrique undergo malolactic fermentation and age for 5 months.
