About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards have limestone and marl soils, which shape the wine’s pronounced minerality.

Grapes

Only grapes from the lower part of the bunches, where acidity is more concentrated, are used.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-September. The wine is made by the traditional method, using yeast from the winery’s own collection.

Ageing

The wine rests on its lees for 45 months.

Tasting profile

Soft and light on the palate, with pronounced minerality, balanced acidity and fine, delicate bubbles.
