Blast chilling

Once collected and placed in the crates, the grapes are placed inside a blast chilling cell and stored for 24 hours at 7 ° Celsius.

This process allows maintaining the grapes intact during the pressing/treading, preserving aromas and organoleptic characteristics.

Sustainability

The new conception cellar was planned in 2012, using sustainable materials that respect the environment.

Pensile gardens cover the vinification area which is totally underground, contributing to the constant maintenance of the temperatures during the year.

Cellar

To reduce the environmental impact and to use the grapes falling principle, the whole vinification area was obtained digging seven meters underground.

To reduce CO2 emissions up to 30% we used Mitsubishi’s innovative system, world leader in conditioning systems with a great attention to the environmental impact.

Press with CO2 recycling to reduce environmental impact

We process the grapes in total absence of oxygen inoculating CO2.

To reduce to the minimum CO2 emissions we use an air balloon that recycles the gas up to twenty pressings, safeguarding the environment.

Grapes washer with a water recirculation pump

The grapes are hand harvested and put into 15kg crates and entirely washed. A water recirculation pump and special filters reduce the water consumption.
