The winemaking process involves gentle maceration, 12 hours of settling, and fermentation with selected yeasts at 16–18 °C, preserving the primary aromas. Fermentation is halted before completion to retain some of the grape's natural sugar, achieved through filtration and cooling of the wine. Gluten-free and free from animal products.
