Grapes coming from different vineyards are harvested and vinificated separately.

After racking and pouring, the wines remain in contact with their lees (temperature of 20-22 °C) for at least two months while it completes the malo-lactic fermentation.
Now the wines are ready to be tasted and, according to their features, blended together.
