Hillside Pedoclimatic Notes and Protective Cellar Protocol

The vineyards delve their roots into hillside soils with a predominantly marly-limestone matrix—a geological habitat of excellence that encourages a perfect synthesis of stable aromatic precursors and transfers an innate savory footprint to the clusters. The manual harvest selects the clusters at their perfect point of phenolic balance during the early hours of the morning. In the cellar, processing applies strict technological criteria oriented toward maximum protection of the mass from oxygen to preserve the primary fragrance of the white grape. Alcoholic fermentation takes place entirely within temperature-controlled stainless steel vats using selected yeasts. Aging on the fine lees in steel strengthens the grape's mineral architecture without the use of oak, safeguarding an agile, harmonious mouthfeel and an alcohol content of 12.50% Vol.
