Production Details Hand-harvested grapes from biodynamically managed vines. Whole-cluster pressed gently in pneumatic presses. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in old wooden fuders. The 2022 vintage yield was 32 hl/ha. Bottled without fining. The winemaking emphasizes minimal intervention and natural settling at balanced residual sugar levels (lower than traditional styles), enhancing perception of salinity while preserving aromatic nuance. Grapes picked in first week of October with 'juices of incredible aromatic complexity.'.
