The vineyards grow on well-draining, mineral-rich soils that impart a special freshness and expressiveness to the grapes. The cultivation is carried out sustainably to maximize the quality of the harvest. 2. The grapes are harvested early in the morning when their fruitiness and freshness are at their peak. Hand harvesting ensures gentle handling and preserves the aromatic diversity. After harvest, the grapes are carefully destemmed and gently pressed at the winery to extract the finest aromas. 3. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Fermentation at controlled temperatures of 16 to 18 °C preserves the freshness and liveliness of the fruit aromas. The fermentation generally lasts 2-3 weeks, with a focus on gentle processing. Subsequently, a slight aging on fine lees is carried out to increase complexity and emphasize mineral notes. 4.
