On the palate, it expresses a \u003cstrong\u003efull-bodied structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, bright acidity and smooth tannins.

The vineyards, trained using the \u003cstrong\u003espur-pruned cordon\u003c\/strong\u003e method, are set on \u003cstrong\u003eclay-based soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, sandy and of lacustrine origin. This specific geological matrix, combined with a low yield, gives the grapes a perfect degree of ripeness and a pronounced richness of flavour.
