Where it comes from

How it is made

In the vineyards, main operations such as pruning and leaf-stripping are carried out by hand to carefully manage the vegetation and the health of the grapes. The grapes are selected at their optimum condition and brought to the cellar for fermentation at controlled temperature, ensuring the proper extraction of aromas. The technical approach favors must purity and fruit expression, maintaining a slender and smooth structure.
