The hillside vineyards are located at 450–500 m above sea level and the soils vary from stony to clayey with mineral presence; the combination of areas and soils contributes to the wine's character.How it is producedHarvesting is manual and the grapes are collected in small containers for transportation to the winery.

The processing in stainless steel, aging on fine lees and absence of malolactic fermentation define a style focused on aromatic purity and smoothness, without any woody notes.
