Winemaking

Starting with the most rigorous organic farming to be the foundation of this artwork result of the hard work in our oldest vineyards of Graciano. We obtain just a small crop of this great grapes.

Handpicked harvest in the optimal ripeness point. The recollection is in small boxes to preserve the fruit. A delicate process of crushing, and a very slow, cold and control fermentation. Develops a unique wine, very special, great valance and complex.

After fermentation the wine is aged in oak barrels for 10 months to give this wine balance and softness not often found in this varietal. As result of this elaboration we get a soft full wine with the ability to age for great length of time.

This wine is the result of the fully dedicated dream of the winemaker and in each step of the process to get expression in all bottles, a delicate wine with balsamic notes.
