Vinification
The vineyards are located at an altitude of 992 metres. This elevation contributes positively to the extreme conditions in which the grapes ripen. The altitude provides freshness, while the warmth and dry climate ensure optimal ripeness.
Alcoholic fermentation lasts 12 to 15 days at 22 °C, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is first aged for two months in large tanks and then for a further seven months in a combination of French Allier oak barrels (50%) and American oak barrels (50%), both with a medium toast level.
