At every stage of crafting our cuvées, temperature acts as the conductor of quality. From the vineyard to bottling, we pay meticulous attention to thermal control to reveal the quintessence of our terroir.

Preserving freshness from the harvest

It all begins during the harvest. Once picked, grapes are sensitive to oxidation and thermal fluctuations. Protecting the berries from high heat is our absolute priority: this prevents spontaneous and uncontrolled fermentation. By keeping the grapes cool upon arrival at the winery, we preserve the integrity of the fruit and the purity of the primary aromas.

White and Rosé Wines: the quest for aromatic elegance

For our white and rosé wines, winemaking is an exercise in precision. Alcoholic fermentation must take place slowly and at low temperatures.

• The objective: To never exceed 16°C to 20°C.

• The result: This coolness preserves the grape’s volatile compounds. This is how we achieve those subtle notes of citrus, white flowers, and fresh fruit, while avoiding heavy or undesirable aromas that could mask the wine’s finesse.

Red Wines: extracting structure and color

For the vinification of red wines, the approach is radically different. Here, heat is a precious ally for extraction.

By increasing the vat temperature (often around 25°C-30°C), we promote the diffusion of polyphenols found in the grape skins. This process is essential to:

• Achieve a deep and intense color.

• Refine the tannins so they are rounder and silkier on the palate.

• Develop a robust structure and the aromatic complexity characteristic of our wines meant for aging.

Technology serving the terroir: our temperature-controlled vats

The secret to this precision lies in our state-of-the-art equipment. Our winery is equipped with the latest generation of temperature-controlled vats.

This system allows us to manage, to the exact degree, every phase of the wine’s life:

1. Alcoholic fermentation: For a steady and controlled sugar transformation.

2. Malolactic fermentation: To encourage the work of lactic acid bacteria in a stable environment.

3. Wine aging: To guarantee optimal preservation by avoiding thermal shocks that could alter the quality of the wine before bottling.

Thanks to this technological mastery combined with our ancestral expertise, we create balanced wines that are faithful reflections of our passion and high standards.
