Terroir

• Cool currents from the North-East accentuate day/night temperature variations in the northern part of the appellation zone.
• Skeleton-rich soils favour aromatic profiles in white wines with a fresh, light palate.

• Reds: ruby with violet or garnet reflections, notes of red fruits, cherry, spice, tobacco or toast, high structure and softness.
• Whites and aromatics: floral perfumes, fruit and fresh bread crust; skeleton-rich soils favour a fresh, light palate.

• Skeleton-rich soils (high proportion of gravel/sand) produce aromatic white wines that are fresh and light.
