The end of September is the period for the harvest of the white wine. With a meticulous selection, the grapes are put in some chests and directly taken to the winery, where is done a soft pressing.
The fermentation is spontaneous in open steel tanks and when it ends, the wine stays always in steel tanks for five months.
