The wine is a field blend from family held vineyards planted in schist soils at high elevation with many being old vines (36-91 years old). The grapes are hand-harvested between September and October, vineyard sorted, with a combination of de-stemming and whole-cluster. The wine spends 15-20 days macerating before spontaneous fermentation begins in stainless steel lasting eight days without temperature control. Aged in 225L barrique (3 year-old) for 18 months. Unfiltered.
