Fermentation, at a controlled temperature, takes place in thermo-conditioned tanks.

This procedure is finished throughout all the sugar is converted into alcohol. The wine is then racked into cement tanks, that are lined with fiberglass and insulated by cork where it remains for a long time the post-fermentation temperature 22° degrees C. (72° F.). In these cement tanks, Malolactic fermentation begins spontaneously and is completed within 2 months. |
