The vines grow on east- and south-east-facing slopes, where limestone, marl and more clay-rich layers alternate from one sector to another.

Winemaking

After sorting and destemming, the grapes are placed in stainless steel tanks for alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 8 to 12 months.
