The Story

The vines range from 20 to 40 years old and are grown on gentle slopes facing full south. The soil and sub-soil are made up of a mixture of clays and rolled pebbles. The grapes are hand-harvested and pressed whole then the must is cold-racked for 24 hours with running water regulating the temperature. After fermentation maturation on lees lasts for 7 to 8 months in vats.
