Fermentation takes place without the addition of sulphur dioxide, using indigenous yeasts, following a light settling of the must. The wine ages for 12 months on fine lees in 500-litre barrels previously used for one wine, enhancing complexity and texture without overshadowing the expression of the terroir.
