The poor and stony soils, composed of limestone marls and sandstone, naturally limit yields so that the grape variety, generally very generous, produces fewer bunches, but with concentrated and rich aromas. The grapes are hand-harvested and the bunches are gently pressed. The must ferments in large oak barrels and ages in wood for about a year, partially undergoing malolactic fermentation.
