The grapes come from old vineyards with an average age of over 50 years; for the 2025 vintage, two granite-rich vineyards with vines aged 38 and more than 50 years respectively are mentioned. The grapes were picked at night and then pressed as whole bunches. After natural settling, the must fermented spontaneously: 85 % in vertical tanks, 5 % in small horizontal tanks and 10 % in neutral barriques. The wine remained on the lees until the end of February. It shows citrus fruit, mineral notes, fresh acidity, good body and a long, precise finish.
