Presentation
Presentation
The quality and typicity of this unique terroir associated with Mediterranean- Alpine climate offer ideal conditions for vineyards. Sheltered from strong winds and extreme weather, the wines are lighter and more aromatic than vintages made from grapes that grow at a lower altitude to the south.
Terroir
Nature of the soils: sandy loam soil with some schist and granite.
In the vineyard
Average age of the vines: 20 years.
Winemaking
The grapes are picked early in the morning so as to proceed with direct pressing on the freshly picked fruit. This is followed by a low temperature fermentation (between 10 to 15 days) which ensures that the full aromatic potential is expressed.

Tasting
Superb pink colour, verging on salmon. Rather intense floral nose, with notes of strawberry and exotic fruits. The mouthfeel reveals a sensation of freshness, and full-body. It reveals a remarkably long finish.
