The Pecorino grapes are hand-picked, after an accurate selection in second decade of September depending on the climate conditions. Grapes are stemmed and very softly crushed; the must is statically decanted before being poured into thermo-conditioned stainless steel thanks to fermet at a controlled temperature ranging between 16° and 18°C. Approximately 10% of the must is fermented 4 months in barriques so to release a moderate “boisè” and a finer character.
