Winery | The grapes for this wine come from a certified organic vineyard. The vines are planted at altitudes ranging between 80 and 400 metres on south and west-facing slopes, which maximise exposure to the sun, assisting the ripening potential of the grapes. The landscape is characterised by the terraces that make up the vineyards. The soils comprise schist, a slate-like metamorphic rock rich in nutrients and offer helpful water retention properties. The vines are pruned according to the Double Cordon system and are harvested at optimal maturity. |
