Altitude: Approx. 250 to 280 metres above sea level.
Harvesting: The grapes are hand-picked and selected in the second week of October.
Yield per hectare: 8,000 Kg/Ha max. by law.
Yield in wine: 56 Hl/Ha
Vinification: 18-24 days with floating cap, pumped over 4-6 times a day.
Ageing: The wine ages slowly in 30-33 hectolitre barrels for 24 months.
Storage: 20 to 25 years in the dark and at a temperature of 13-15 degrees Celcius to allow the tannins to mature perfectly, depending on the vintage.
