Winemaking:

hand collection with great care in grapes selection after their natural withering on the plant for about 20-30 days;

destemming, maceration on the peels at ambient temperature; racking and soft pressing;

fermentation at low temperature (15-18 °C).

Fermentation naturally stops because of high alcoholic strength reached (13-14,5 % alc./vol), therefore leaving a residual sugar varying from 120 to 160 g/l (according to the year, natural sugar contento of grapes changes). Then wine is decanted to remove dregs and most of yeats and bacteria and put in Slavonic oak tonneaux, where i twill have an ageing process of about 15-18 months; at the end of ageing, wine is bottled.
