For this variety with very fine and fragile skin, the harvest is carried out in flat tray type table grape tray. They put in vats in whole bunches and let macerate for about fifteen days approximately.

This delicate variety is raised in the most neutral containers possible partly in stainless steel vats and partly in terracotta jar of so as to respect the fruit and the purity of the wine as much as possible. Their cool microclimate gives it the necessary acidity to hold in the time, balance, finesse and silkiness which often makes one think of wines from Beaujolais or Burgundy.
