Description

Viticulture

The harvest generally starts the last week of August and continues through the middle of September. Sauvignon Blanc is harvested first, and Vermentino follows as it takes more time to mature.

Vinification

The vinification occurs separately. To maintain freshness of Sauvignon Blanc, the grapes are fermented at a controlled temperature, using only indigenous yeasts coming from the “pied de cuve” or “starter”, from the same parcels harvested earlier. For the Vermentino, the grapes are macerated on the skins for about 6 days to extract phenols and give the wine a little more structure. This occurs in cement containers. Once the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are finished, the wine is assembled and allowed to rest in cement and steel tanks until bottling in February.
