The harvest is destemmed at 90% then vinified for 20 to 30 days in closed stainless steel vats, under temperature control and automatic homogenization by the natural force created by the carbon dioxide from fermentation. The wine is aged half in new barrels and half in 1 to 3 year old barrels for 24 months .
