Technically, the wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir cultivated at 480 meters altitude on calcareous-marly soils with some sand, facilitating slow and balanced ripening that preserves acidity and aromatic finesse. Fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures, followed by at least 30 months on lees with periodic riddling, delivering complexity, elegance, and depth. Aromas include crisp apple, dog rose, honey, and a typical bread crust note from extended aging on lees. Its solid structure and fresh, vibrant taste invite repeated sips.
