All the works are traditional and natural both in the vineyards and the cellar. The one of the most healthy vineyard in this area is totally free from herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers. 40 days maceration, using only indigenous yeasts, vertical hand press, then aged in cement and slavonian oak.
