About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyard has limestone, silt and loam soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested entirely by hand in the second half of October, then destemmed and crushed at the winery. Fermentation and maceration take place in 50 hL barriques at a controlled temperature of 26 °C for eight days. The wine is neither filtered nor stabilized before bottling.

Ageing

The wine ages for 12 months in 500 L barrels, followed by at least six months in bottle in the winery’s cellars before release.

Tasting profile

The nose is rich and fruity. The palate is full and generous, with abundant fruit character.
