About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The estate vineyards lie at 370–430 m above sea level on clay-limestone soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested during the last ten days of September. The must undergoes a short pre-fermentation maceration, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled concrete tanks for 10–13 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in French oak barrels.

Ageing

The wine matures in French oak barrels for 24 months, then rests for a further eight months in the winery’s cellars after bottling.
