The rows of vines grow on \u003cstrong\u003eclay-limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e which, thanks to their west and south-west exposure, ensure optimal ripening of the grapes. This synergy gives the wine a dense texture and a distinctly concentrated character.

This meticulous maturation shapes the structure and softens the tannins.
