After crushing grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks by selected yeasts. Fermentation’s temperature is contained at 26-28°C and the must is pumped over its skins twice a day to draw colouring substances and tannins.
After 20-22 days the wine is separated from the dregs to prevent solubilisation of bitter tannins.
