Grape harvest usually takes place during the second decade of September; the grapes are selected and harvested in special crates; then the white vinification is carried out in the cellar with a soft grape pressing, separation of the peels and must fermentation with selected yeasts in tanks thermo-conditioned at 18/20 ¡C for 15/20 days so as to preserve the flavour fruitiness and freshness as long as possible. Then come decantation and the normal processes of wine clarification.
