The must then stays in contact  with the skins for a further 30-40 days to optimize the  extraction of the polyphenolic substances and help start  the subsequent malolactic fermentation.  AGEING  Ages for two years in oak barrels of medium and large  capacity (from 2.000 to 14.000 liters), at the end of the  second year, the wine makes into a further period of aging  in bottle before being released to the market.
