The vines are planted at around 500 to 550 metres above sea level in deep granite soils with quartz, clay and slate. For the Curtimenta version, the white grapes are fermented with their skins; stainless steel and maturation on fine lees are documented, but no precise duration is given for the 2020 vintage. The wine shows aromas of apricot, citrus fruit, apple and pear, along with saline spice, fresh acidity and a slightly dry, grippy tannin. Its distinctive feature is its orange style resulting from skin contact.
