About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The small Le Gonnare vineyard has stony, clay-rich soils that promote gradual ripening, particularly for Merlot.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand into small crates. After crushing and pressing, the must ferments with native yeasts, with careful control of maceration length. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally.

Ageing

The wine ages for around 18 months in barriques, one-third of which are new, followed by another year in bottle.

Tasting profile

Balanced, with a Mediterranean character.

Label / history

Fabio Motta acquired the Le Gonnare vineyard in 2012.
