Vinification
The grapes are harvested earlier than the normal ripening period. Strictly produced in the traditional method respecting all stages of production.
The sparkling base is generally bottled by june of the year following the harvest and follows the refermentation and maturation on the lees in the bottle.
The bottles are stacked in cellars, special rooms at a controlled temperature and in the absence of light.
After the long fermentation period the lees are eliminated, with the subsequent addition of the dosing syrup before final capping.
Refinement
Approximately 40 months from the harvest.
