About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The south- and southwest-facing vineyards occupy hillsides at 175–300 m above sea level. The vines average 15 years of age and are planted at a density of 5,000 vines per hectare.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand into small crates, with selection limited to fully healthy bunches. Skin maceration and fermentation with natural yeasts take place in stainless-steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation in concrete vessels.

Ageing

The wine ages for 12 months.
