In a world were wines are generally produced with the same grapes, the same technology, the same wood for ageing and above all the same consultants, our aim is to obtain a wine which is the expression of the vineyard it comes from, of the grapes it was made of, and above all of our own ideas. In order to achieve this, we have chosen a natural approach, with a moderate use of technology, without changing the nature of the wine with special procedures. We have attached new importance to old oak barrel ageing making choices entirely by ourselves. 

 
Color: Light straw-yellow.
Aroma: Elegant bouquet with notes of heather and honeydew melon. It has a nice acidity and freshness, with hints of mint as it opens.
Palate: Lively minerality and a pleasant underlying bitterness, leading to a clean, savory finish with a touch of lingering bitterness.
