Production Details Handpicked with strict selection in the vineyard. Whole-bunch pressed without settling or racking, then immediately transferred to first- through third-fill oak casks for indigenous-yeast alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation. Aged reductively on its lees without racking for 11 months before release. The sheet also reports TA 3.10 g/L, but does not identify the acid-equivalent basis, so it is not proposed as canonical total acidity. The vineyard was farmed organically but was not certified.
Tasting Notes Rich, mineral-driven and precise; limestone aromas with lemon, flowers and fossil shells; vibrant and energetic
