Production notes
Harvest: During the harvest, the grapes are kept below 10 ° C. Vinification: Always kept cold and in an atmosphere saturated with carbon dioxide to avoid any oxidation, the grapes are pressed gently in order to keep only the first press.

The wine is bottled immediately, without malolactic fermentation or aging.
