Winemaking Process
The vinification initiates with a spontaneous fermentation developed in 75 Hl natural cement tanks with indigenous yeast, for 14-15 days at a controlled temperature of 28°C. The malolactic fermentation starts in a natural way.
The aging process is made in untoasted 41 Hl French oak casks for about 17 months. The oak casks originate from the noble forests of Allier.
The bottle aging lasts for at least 4 months.
