The must is kept in regular contact with the skins through circulation pumping and gentle pressure from below. We thus achieve ideal results with the coloring from the skins and emphasize the fruitiness of the wine. After two gentle rackings, 70% of this Lagrein is aged for months in large oak barrels, and the remainder is aged in small casks of French oak (barriques) which are 2 – 3 years old. After blending, the bottles are filled and the wine is aged for some additional months in the bottle before it goes on sale.
