La Pretension

Manual harvest in several passes, fermentation with skins and 100% stems in order to develop a more moderate extraction than in 2021, the entire bunches spend a week under carbonic fermentation in a tank under a curtain of dry ice. The tank is emptied and the bunches are transferred to open 1000 liter ‘mastelone’ vats. The clusters are lightly trodden on foot and the must is cooled quickly to avoid rapid development of spontaneous yeasts and a potential rise in temperature. Gentle extraction, two 'pigeage' a day for fifteen minutes each and by hand. Press extraction of 60%.
