Vinification details
Grapes were hand-picked and sorted in the early morning at Cavalli. Two batches were fermented in stainless steel tanks with 2 open pump-overs daily, then a week of extended skin contact post-fermentation. After pressing, the wine completed malolactic fermentation in tank. Maturation took place in 225L French oak barriques for 24 months (approximately 30% first fill).
