Winemaking The grapes are pressed upon arrival at the winery. We practice a fermentation with a low temperature to keep all the flavours. We start the alcoholic fermentation in vats to have a regular fermentation, then when alcoholic fermentation is running we put the wine into barrels . We use only natural yeasts to keep the charm and character of each wine.
