The soil is mainly stony, rich in minerals and of volcanic origin, a characteristic that results in wines with a strong character; important temperature ranges between day and night ensure excellent ripening of the grapes. After manual harvesting is completed, alcoholic fermentation occurs in steel with a maceration on the skins for 2 days. It ages 8 months in cement tanks.
