An extended period of aging on the fine lies after alcoholic fermentation, providing body and smoothness. The micro-oxygenation technique is used with oak barrels from 220L to 600L to give the wine a lovely patina, developing a subtle combination of complex but delicate aromas. The initial intensity and freshness of the terroir is preserved by there being no malolactic fermentation process. A minimum 33-month aging period, during which bottles are horizontally stacked, makes for a rich aroma and a lovely lingering taste.
