The mild climate with warm days and cool nights ensures slow, even ripening and preserves the freshness of the grapes. The soil, rich in limestone and clay, supports the development of powerful aromas and a firm tannin structure. The harvest is traditionally done by hand in order to select the best grapes and ensure their quality. After arriving at the winery, the berries are carefully destemmed and gently pressed. Fermentation on the skins takes place at controlled temperatures to optimally extract the fruit aromas and preserve the typical notes of cassis and green bell pepper. Close attention is paid to the course of fermentation so that a balanced harmony between fruit and tannin can develop. The maturation of the Cabernet Sauvignon takes place in large oak casks, which impart characteristic wood and vanilla notes to the wine. The ageing period is chosen so that the complexity of the wine is increased without losing freshness and elegance. Finally, bottling is carried out with the greatest care so that the full aroma and lively taste are preserved. The wine contains natural sulfites and sulfur dioxide, which serve as preservatives to ensure a long shelf life.
