Maceration on the skins for 13-15 days for the Cabernet Sauvignon and for about 14-18 days for the Sangiovese, with successive phases of pumping over and frequent deléstage to stimulate aromatic extraction and soften the tannins. Malolactic fermentation was carried out in steel and concluded towards the end of November.
Ageing. At the end of the malolactic fermentation, the wine remains in steel for about 3-4 months and temperatures are kept around 10°C. Periodic decanting is carried out to eliminate the sediments.

At the end of the aging period in wood, the wine returns into the steel tanks where the temperature is stabilized for about 20 days at around 4-5°C for the necessary tartaric stabilization, before bottling.
