Vinification details
Grapes are hand-picked and sorted in the early morning at Cavalli. The Cabernet
Sauvignon is fermented in stainless steel with 3-4 pump-overs daily. The Malbec and
Petit Verdot are fermented in small open-top vessels with manual punch-downs 3-5 times daily. Batches are allowed up to 2 weeks of skin contact post-fermentation. After pressing, the wine completes malolactic fermentation in tank.
