At the end of the fermentation, it remains on the skins for 2 months in order to have a better extraction of color and structure. Once this period is ended, the wine is separated from the pomace, which is subjected to a super soft pressing that does not even reach a bar. The wine is aged in tonneaux from different periods and toasting.
