The estate’s 229 hectares (566 acres) of vineyards are located at an altitude of 220 - 470 meters above sea level (722-1542 feet) and are planted with traditional varieties such as Procanico and Grechetto but also with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Sèmillon, Pinot Blanc, Viognier and a small quantity of Traminer and Riesling.
The region is exceptional for producing white varieties with one exception, Pinot Noir, that has found ideal conditions in this terroir to best express its full potential. The vines grow in clay and calcareous based soils, rich in fossil shells, and they are well exposed to the rising of the sun with an excellent difference of temperature between day and night.

Wine making | Grapes are destemmed and softly crushed once they arrive at the winery. The must with its skins is cooled to 10°C and transferred to stainless steel tanks for a short maceration of about 2 to 4 hours to extract and enhance the aromatic and taste profile of the grapes. The batches are transferred partly into wood and partly into stainless steel vats where alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 16 8°C. Only the portion in wood then undergoes malolactic fermentation. |
Aging | The wine is then blended and bottled. |
