Production Details Fruit came from limestone vines more than 50 years old. Following whole-cluster pressing without crushing or maceration, the wine went directly into old neutral barrels. It was topped up during barrel maturation but received no sulfur there, was normally racked only once, and was bottled unfined and unfiltered with a small sulfur addition. The producer describes its vineyards as certified organic and its harvest as manual in small bins.
Tasting Notes Importer: brooding and linear, with blue- and green-toned fruit and ripe red-apple juice; specialist tasting panel: restrained citrus and herbs, fresh acidity, mineral character and a comparatively full, creamy texture.
