About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow on hillside sites with low yields, organic farming methods, varied soil textures and a range of microclimates.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand at night to preserve their character. The bunches are kept whole and undergo no skin maceration before gentle pressing. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine rests in steel tanks in a cool place.

Tasting profile

Elegant, complex, pure and balanced, with an intense, persistent floral aroma and a soft, fruity palate.
