The vines face south; technical information states that around 20 hectares are under cultivation, while specific soil types are not given for this bottling. The grapes were harvested from 9 to 22 September, destemmed and pressed. Fermentation took place spontaneously with the skins in clay amphorae lined with beeswax. The wine then matured for seven months on the fine lees. It is dry, light and fresh, with 5.7 g/l acidity, floral notes and juicy red berry fruit; the body remains slender and the tannins are discreet.
