The vineyards benefit from a south-facing exposure, optimal for grape ripening, and are situated at an altitude between 300 and 450 metres. The vines draw nourishment from a \u003cstrong\u003erocky sedimentary soil\u003c\/strong\u003e that is poor in nutrients, giving the wine a fine texture and marked freshness.
