Natural factors
- Sloped vineyard: promotes drainage, deep root penetration, and optimal sun exposure for ripening.
- The slope encourages the production of polyphenols, which directly influence the color and body of the wines.
- The surrounding forests harbor a diverse microfauna that facilitates pollination and regulates predators without the need for pesticides.
- The peripheral vegetation acts as a natural barrier, a key element of the estate's environment.
Product characteristics
- The slopes promote ripening and a high production of polyphenols, which influence the color and body of the wines.
