Elaboration:
Slight natural over-ripening of the grape on the plant to achieve a higher concentration of sugars. Manual harvesting and fermentation with the skins until the desired sugar concentration is achieved. The fermentation is then stopped with the addition of alcohol to obtain a natural sweet wine. Finally, an oxidative aging of more than 8 years is carried out in oak barrels. The wine is bottled unfiltered to maintain its organoleptic properties to the maximum.
