About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from 15-year-old vines.

Vinification

The must undergoes spontaneous fermentation, maceration and malolactic fermentation in glazed concrete tanks, without additives or temperature control. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration.

Ageing

The wine matures for 16 months in large French oak barrels, followed by one month in concrete tanks.
