About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the Bric Ginestra vineyard, on clay-limestone soils at 300–350 m above sea level. The vines are 20–22 years old.

Vinification

Harvest is entirely by hand, once the grapes reach optimal ripeness, usually in the first ten days of October. After crushing, the must macerates for 10–12 days in special tanks designed to let the compounds in the grape skins be released continuously.

Ageing

After ageing, the wine is usually bottled at the end of winter in the second year after the harvest.
