Winemaking
After a short maceration, the perfectly ripe grapes are pressed. The must ferments half in steel and the rest in barriques. Only this last part undergoes malolactic fermentation. After approx. 8 months of maturation on the yeasts, the two wines are assembled and carefully bottled.

Area
The vineyards have excellent sun exposure. It is a rather dry area with sandy and gravelly soils of morainic origin.
