KNOW-HOW

Variety by variety, then twelve months in barrels

The grape varieties are vinified and aged separately for two weeks, then the wine follows a traditional vinification in two-wine barrels for 12 months. Working each variety on its own respects its pace of ripening and its character before blending. Two-wine barrels are barrels that have already been used to age two wines: their wood, partly spent, marks the wine less than a new barrel, while giving it slow, gentle oxygenation.
