Fermentation: the grapes come from a single vineyard that matures early, and are picked when fully ripe. The grapes are then kept for 7-8 days in a ventilated cell at 10°C. Half of the grapes are destemmed and start the fermentation with the skins; for the other half we use a closed press, with atmosphere saturated with carbon dioxide, where the grapes macerate for 12 hours. Soft pressing follows, to extract only the first pressing must, then the must is left to decant for around 72 hours in a tank at a controlled temperature of around 5-7°C. We then separate the clean must from the decanted part and activate the fermentation with the use of specially selected yeast. The two fermentations continue slowly, at around 15°C, and after about one week we join the two halves: the must resulting from the fermentation of the grapes with the skins is added to the pressed must and they finish the fermentation together, during the two following
