Production Details Hand-harvested, selectively sorted fruit came from sites at 220–240 meters, described as flat and at the foot of the mountain. The vines use a modified Moser training system at 3,500–4,000 vines per hectare with 2.40–2.80-meter row spacing. Vinification included skin contact, fermentation with cultured and natural yeasts in glass balloons and stainless-steel tanks at 22–25°C for 10–20 days, no malolactic fermentation, two rackings, filtration, and one month of bottle ageing before a September release. Production was 200 cases.
