Natural factors

- A harsh climate with large diurnal temperature swings shapes the acidity structure of the wines.
- Grape varieties must be winter-hardy, flower late, and show high resistance to fungal diseases.
- Small-scale parcels prevent a consistent sensory profile from being established across the wines.
Human factors
- Exclusively family estates that process their own grapes and market them directly from the cellar door.
- Grape varieties must be winter-hardy, flower late, and show high resistance to fungal diseases.
Product characteristics
