VINIFICATION: The grapes for this wine are situated in Serralunga with vine age plantings ranging from 1995-2015. Harvest took place in October. The alcoholic fermentation happens in vertical stainless steel tanks with a maceration on the skins for about 20-30 days. After racking and malolactic fermentation, the wine is then placed into different sized barrels for a period of 18 to 24 months. After this aging the wines will then be ready to be bottled and will rest in bottle for another 6 months before being available to the market.
