Vineyards
The vineyard, trained on a high trellis system, is 30 years old and located at 1,100 meters above sea level in alluvial sandy loam soils with a high concentration of round and angular stones. Interspersed layers of loose sand provide excellent drainage. Calcium carbonate is found at higher elevations within the vineyard. A drip irrigation system is used, which, thanks to the soil's permeability, allows for controlled vine vigor during vegetative growth and grape ripening. During the ripening period, the temperature range is 14.4°C. This combination of cool climate and warm soils results in wines that are intense on the nose, elegant on the palate, and with moderate alcohol content.
