About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow at 450–550 m above sea level in medium-density clay and limestone soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in early September and gently pressed, followed by static draining. The must ferments in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18–22 °C.

Ageing

The wine rests in steel tanks for around four months, followed by a further two months in bottle.

Tasting profile

It combines the freshness of a white wine with the tannic structure of a red.
