The grapes are picked by hand and the harvest is early, in order to maintain good acidity. Upon arrival at the cellar, the fruit is immediately pressed using a pneumatic press. The must is transferred into the vats for fermentation alcoholic, using the same process as for wines still. The wine is then transferred into sealed bottles for the second fermentation, according to the traditional method. Finally, the bottles are disgorged and the traditional dosage is very precise, in order to preserve all the freshness and balance of the wine.
