Fermentation took place at controlled temperatures for 15 days in small stainless steel tanks, followed by a stage in fine lees with regular stirring. After malolactic fermentation, it aged for 12 months in French (80%) and American (20%) oak barrels and then blended to balance the varietal fruit and the complexity of the oak.The wine was bottled without gluing and with filtration in April 2018.

The harvest of 2016 was characterized by very favourable growing conditions for viticulture, they have produced one of the best vintages of recent years. Harsh winter, hot and dry summer without heat waves. Throughout harvest the weather remained dry, allowing excellent fruit quality.
