The grapes, planted in clay and limestone, typically not harvested until the end of October, reach exceptional ripeness. Despite this, the winemaker skillfully maintains their health. Extended skin contact during fermentation, lasting months rather than mere days or weeks, sees the nascent wine subjected to the seasonal fluctuations of winter and summer. The resulting mature wine displays a lively rusty rim, with notes of truffle, minerals, and sulfur. Having endured years of exposure to both cold and heat in a 2,000-liter tank, this wine is full-bodied, culminating in a dry yet intensely flavorful mid-palate
