Particular care is taken of the vines, with sound and sustainable practices including ploughing, non-residual weeding and limited generally treatments.
Vinification
A slow, cool temperature vinification takes place in order to preserve fruit flavours and aromas. Fermentation is in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperatures. The wine is aged for 12 months on the lees in stainless-steel tanks.
