The region is characterized by calcareous soils and optimal sunlight exposure, which give the grapes vibrant freshness and intense aromatics.

The grapes are promptly brought to the winery after harvest to preserve freshness and ensure an optimal fruit character. The vinification involves temperature-controlled fermentation at 16–18 °C, preserving the lively fruit aromas. The must is only briefly macerated to retain the intense fruit and fine mineral notes. Maturation takes place in stainless steel tanks, ensuring a pure and fresh taste experience.
