No insecticides few treatments (depending on weather), small amount of organic-only fertiliser, with respect of soil and vine balance.

Open, temperature-controlled vatting for about 3 weeks, with regular cap-punching and pumping-over. Malolactic-fermented in barriques with native yeasts. Maturing for 18 months in barriques. ABV 13%
