The grapes comes from vineyards that overlook the Mediterranean Sea. The soils, mainly calcareous, are composed of sand, gravel, molasse and white marls and are not overly productive, limiting vine growth and promoting ripening of the grapes.

40% in oak barrels (20 % new barrels) and 60% in stainless steel vats.
Ageing
After blending, the wine is aged for 3 months on fine lees.

Wine and Food
