Production Details The wine came from a 1.02 ha plot, with stated production of 5,200 (the source does not label the production unit). After light settling, must was fermented in 228 L and 600 L barrels, followed by racking about one year later and a second maturation phase in stainless steel to preserve freshness and minerality. The vintage header reports 40% new barrels, while the same producer page’s general method says 5–20% new barrels; this unresolved internal conflict should be retained.
