The must obtained is then decanted – without adding any oenological additives – at a low temperature. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in small stainless-steel tanks at a controlled. Nearly 25 days later, at the end of fermentation, the wine is transferred into another stainless-steel tank, and aged for 6 months, as required by the production regulations.

The Gavi DOCG Riserva is then bottled and refined for six months in the bottle, before  This release.
