The vineyard includes \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e planted from 1957 onwards, cultivated according to organic farming principles. The roots draw nourishment from a soil composed of \u003cstrong\u003ebluish calcareous-clay marl\u003c\/strong\u003e, a geological peculiarity that gives the wine superior elegance and profound complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvesting takes place between the end of September and the beginning of October.
