The fruit is sourced from vineyards at 350 metres above sea level on clayey, calcareous and chalky soils with South, South-East exposure. Organic Farming. Vinification: alcoholic spontaneous fermentation in steel vats with carbonic maceration for 1/3 of the mass controlled temperature. The wine is aged 12 months in steel vats and 1 month in bottle.
