The temperate climate and the soils made up of limestone marls and sandstones, rich in minerals, are perfect for quality viticulture.

The harvest is done manually towards the beginning of September, and the best bunches are gently pressed to extract only the free-run juice. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks, and before being put on sale, the wine matures for a few months until it reaches the right expressive harmony.
