After gently pressing the grapes, the resulting must is separated into two batches: half o undergoes an initial fermentation at 64°F while the remaining portion is stored at 32°F and kept unfermented. The must is later combined and, following the traditional Charmat method, is transferred into pressurized stainless steel tanks, where the wine gains its celebrated sparkling properties.
