After crushing and destemming, the must entered a single stainless-steel tank at 5°C for seven days of cold maceration; alcoholic fermentation ended on 10 March 2000. After pressing, the wine settled in steel until 25 May 2000 with two intermediate rackings and verification of completed malolactic fermentation.
