Viticulture

Over 5,000 vines planted per ha. at an altitude of 300/350 m.asl. Vines, on average, are 5 - 13 years old.
Vineyards are south and south-west facing. Soil is partly calcareous, partly marl.

Vinification

Only indigenous yeasts are used in the fermentation. The maceration on the skins lasts around 10 days, at a controlled temperature of between 25 and 30° C. The wine is then matured in oak casks holding 25-30 hl. for 30 month, and finally aged in the bottle for 6 months, at a controlled temperature of 15° C in the cellar.
