The vines are cultivated on calcareous, well-drained soils, imparting precise minerality to the wine. The Mediterranean climate with warm days and cool nights promotes the concentration of fruit aromas and the preservation of natural acidity. The harvest is carefully done by hand to select only the best, fully ripened grapes. This gentle handling guarantees the preservation of freshness and fine aromas. The vinification relies on modern yet tradition-conscious methods to maximize quality: Careful destemming of the grapes prior to fermentation. Controlled temperature fermentation between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius. Gentle, regular pump-overs for the extraction of color and tannins.
