The vines are between 10 to 25 years old and are trained using the single Guyot method, planted at a density of 4,000 to 5,000 vines per hectare. Soils are mainly marlstone, rich in carbonate minerals. The climate is sub-Mediterranean, meaning that the vineyards experience a mixture of warm sea air mixed with cool Alpine winds, which allows the grapes to ripen at a steady pace.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThe grapes were gently pressed in a pneumatic press and fermented in stainless-steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 14°C.
