The vinification initiates with a
spontaneous fermentation developed
in 80 Hl Slavonian oak casks only
with indigenous yeast, during 14-15
days at a controlled temperature of
26°C. The malolactic fermentation
starts in a natural way.
The aging process is made in nontoasted 41 Hl French oak casks for
about 18 months. The oak casks
originate from the noble forests of
Allier.The bottle aging lasts for at
least 6 months.
