Cooling of the grapes in chambers at 0º and the alcoholic fermentation happens in concrete tanks, depending on the sub-zone, which is mainly determined by the soil, but also by the altitude and landscape. 100% of the vinifications are spontaneous fermentation.

The wine is filtered only once light filtering and bottling with a very low level of SO2
