Vineyards & Viticulture
South-southeast exposed plot at an elevation between 107-127 meters, which helps keep freshness. The vineyard rows alternate between plowed grass and wheat or peas. Attention is given to preservation of the biodiversity of the land through the mixed vegetation of fruit trees, woods and meadows.
Soils
Clay-limestone
Harvest & Vinification
The grapes are hand harvested, destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with native yeast. No sulfur is added during vinification. The wine is then aged half in tank and half in two to five year old barrels for one year.
