The location, about forty kilometres from the Pacific Ocean, ensures a \u003cstrong\u003efavourable microclimate\u003c\/strong\u003e characterised by low rainfall and moderate temperatures. These environmental conditions, combined with careful water management, allow the grapes to ripen regularly, giving the wine a pronounced \u003cstrong\u003earomatic definition\u003c\/strong\u003e and a solid structural framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a careful harvest of the Cabernet Sauvignon between the end of March and May. In the winery, the bunches undergo \u003cstrong\u003evinification in steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, carried out in dedicated tanks to preserve the integrity of the fruit and the freshness of the aromas. Subsequently, the wine rests through \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, a technical choice that refines its profile and gives roundness to the palate.
