About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie at 430 metres above sea level on silty clay soils. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, usually during the first week of September.

Vinification

Fermentation occurs spontaneously with native yeasts. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration.

Ageing

The wine rests for 12 months in old oak barrels.
