The vines stand on south-facing limestone slopes over calcareous rock, in places covered with flint and conglomerate. The grapes are hand harvested, destemmed and fermented with natural yeasts. Skin contact lasts around one month; depending on the lot, the wine is matured in stainless-steel or wooden vessels for several months. The 2023 vintage combines ripe red fruit with classical restraint. It is described with cassis and violet notes, fresh acidity, grippy tannins and a straightforward, medium-bodied palate.
