Production Details The grapes are handpicked and sorted before gentle pressing. Alcoholic fermentation and maturation on fine lees take place 75% in stainless-steel vats and 25% in 1–5-year-old oak barrels for 10 months, followed by 6 months of finishing in stainless steel. The recommended serving range is 12–14°C. The vineyard's central section has a slope described as nearly 40% (the source expresses percent, not degrees). The English 2022 PDF labels the vineyard surface as 5.80 ha, while the current official wine page states 2.35 ha (5.8 acres); the conflicting area/unit labels are retained without normalization.
