About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie at 270–350 m above sea level, and the vines are 25 years old on average.

Grapes

The blend includes a small proportion of Colorino.

Vinification

After harvest, the grapes ferment for 20 days in open, truncated-cone stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 26 °C. Malolactic fermentation follows alcoholic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine ages for 12 months in cement vats and oak barrels.
