Training system: Spurred cordon Plants density: 6,250 vines per hectare

Winemaking notes: Careful manual selection of grapes on a sorting table.

Soft pressing and destemming of the bunches to prevent the cracking of the berries and excessive release of tannins. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature maintained around 26-28 ° C, without addition of external yeasts.

The macerations of this vintage lasted about 12-15 days for Merlot and 10-13 days for the Cabernet Sauvignon.

This was made in order to limit the excessive release of tannins in a vintage richer in anthocyanins.

Frequent pumpovers and délestages helped the aromatic expression of the musts.

The malolactic fermentation begun in early November and was carried out in stainless steel vats.

After that the musts were transferred into barriques for aging.

Aging: The wine was mostly aged in French oak barrels and partially American oak barrels for 15 months
