The collection is carried out manually, selecting fruits at the optimal degree of ripeness. Its fermentation in cherry varies between 25 and 35 hours anaerobically and aerobically, then the skin of the cherries is removed to start its fermentation in parchment with yeasts from its pulp for 70-80 hours.
