About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the sunniest vineyards of the historic Torrette area, where yields are strictly limited. This gives grapes with more concentrated flavours and wines that keep for longer.

Vinification

Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine matures for 8 months in stainless steel vats, followed by 5 months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Fresh and aromatic, harmonious, with a crisp, dry taste.
