Wine-making process: After an accurate selection only the bunches that are perfectly intact and healthy are picked and left to sun-dry out on grids in a ventilated arid environment. After the sun-drying process, the “sun-dried grapes” are put into a press that softly squeezes them. Then placed into fermenting barrels in a thermo controlled environment. At the end of the fermentation period the wine undergoes battonage for about 4 months and left to settle for 14 months in oak barrels acquiring natural meritorious aromas and tastes.
