The grapes were selected in two phases. The first selection took place in mid-July (called “green selection”) and the second took place shortly before harvest time, thus allowing the grape clusters to be better taken to the cellar for winemaking. The grapes are then destemmed and crushed. Maceration took place in 125 hl vats for a period of 15 to 21 days. During this phase, the wine underwent alcoholic fermentation at a temperature not exceeding 27°C. The wine was then immediately put into oak barrels of different sizes ranging from 30 to 80 hectoliters and, after undergoing malolactic fermentation, it aged for two years.

The wine was bottled in summer 2009.
