About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines have an average age of 60 years and grow in volcanic soils low in organic matter and rich in trace elements. They are cultivated using organic and biodynamic methods, without chemical fertilisers or synthetic products.

Vinification

Harvest begins in early September, with the grapes picked by hand, destemmed and pressed. Fermentation takes place on the skins in stainless-steel tanks for around 15 days, using only natural yeasts. No sulphur is added during vinification.

Ageing

The wine ages for six months in stainless-steel tanks, followed by six months in chestnut barrels.
