About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from vineyards around Santa Maria, where marl soils predominate.

Vinification

The bunches are harvested by hand and carefully selected before gentle pressing and thorough destemming. Fermentation and maceration with native yeasts last 8–10 days. Malolactic fermentation runs from autumn through spring.

Ageing

Depending on the vintage, the wine matures for one year in stainless-steel tanks, oak barrels, or a combination of the two, followed by 12 months in bottle.

Tasting profile

The wine combines youthful energy with a fresh fruit character that is most expressive during its first few years after release.
