The harvests are carried out only manually, and the best bunches are gently pressed to extract the free-run juice. The fermentations take place in stainless steel tanks, separately for each variety. After a few months of aging, the base wines are blended, and the second fermentation occurs in the bottle according to the Classic Method, with a sur lattes resting period of 24 months, before proceeding to disgorgement.
