The vineyards, situated at medium altitude and cultivated using the \u003cstrong\u003egoblet training system\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensure low yields and sink their roots into \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous-clay\u003c\/strong\u003e and siliceous soils, which are essential for maintaining acidic freshness. The dry, breezy summers, characterised by a marked \u003cstrong\u003etemperature range\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensure optimal ripening of the grapes while preserving phenolic richness.
