100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from the best vineyard plots of the estate are hand harvested, within the first ten days of October, destemmed and crushed. Vinification takes places within the Nozzole cellar. Fermentation begins in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 28 C (82 F); a further maceration period of approximately twelve days takes place and then the wine then is racked into clean stainless steel to naturally induce a full malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged 16-18 months in French oak barrels part new and part one year old and is then followed by a minumum of 6 months in bottle before release.
