Vineyard:  The grapes come from a 12.24-hectare vineyard with ~52-year-old vines planted at 6,500/ha. Soils are gravelly clay with a gravel-dominant surface layer. Green manuring is practiced using legumes (fava beans, peas, and clover) and grasses (rye and oat).

Vinification is carried out plot by plot in Italian concrete tanks within a gravity-flow cellar, with MLC in barrels. The wine is aged in French oak barrels ( 60% new oak and 40% one-year-old oak featuring 15 different toast levels).
