The selected grapes, mellow and untouched, are kept into particular steel containers, saturated with CO2 produced by yeasts. The complete lack of oxygen triggers bio-chemical reactions, that give to the wine a characteristic aroma. Afterwards the vinification produces a really fragrant and intensely fruity wine.
