 The difficulties of working in a region where the effects of an oceanic climate susceptible to wind an drain, but often tempered by warm indian summers with sunshine and gentle breezes.

 The ability to adapt the methods of extraction and vinification and production techniques during the ageing process according to the vintage.

 Great care and attention to detail is taken at all stages in the life cycle of the wine, in the vines as well as in the cellar, and we consider nature to be our main ally

The cellar allows a serious work of sorting harvest, isolation and fragmented extractions smooth pace suited to each and every vintage wine ...

All the winery is under control temperature that is to say that we can cool and warm each vessel independently. This allows us to a perfect sequence of alcoholic fermentation, malolactic and optimizes the conservation of wine.
