The vines are planted at 160 to 200 metres above sea level in a vineyard area of around 40 hectares near the coast. The soils consist of marl and schist with inclusions of sandstone and silicate rock. The grapes are hand-harvested, fermented and macerated in stainless-steel tanks for around 25 days at 28 to 30 °C. Malolactic fermentation takes place in 225-litre French oak barriques; the wine then matures for 14 to 16 months in wood and a further twelve months in bottle. It shows dark fruit, balsamic notes, freshness and structured, ripe tannins.
