Two pump-overs were carried out every day, emptying the tanks 30-40 days after the start of fermentation, depending on the variety.Prolonged vatting was determined by tasting.
Malolactic fermentation took place in the tank.
The wine underwent minimal clarification and filtering treatment before being bottled.
