soil

and climate

A light clayey soil with pebbles and large cobbles encourages surface water to penetrate into the limestone subsoil, allowing reserves to remain around the vines’ deep roots in the dry season.

Cold, dry winters, short springs and the sharp contrast between daytime and night-time temperatures during the summer, encourage a concentration of polyphenols in the grapes.

All of these factors contribute and provide an ideal base to enhance the personality and expressive force of a wine.
