Vinification: selected hand picked grapes are de stemmed into barrels where berries are left in must that starts to spontaneously ferment with the wild indigenous yeast culture. After fermentation we refill the barrel and leave the berries in contact with the wine until the next harvest (for 12 months). Only then is the wine separated from the berries and further matured in a barrel for another year. The wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined.
