Terroir: The vineyards are located in the granitic hills of Arzachena, in Gallura, in northern Sardinia. The soil consists mainly of decomposed granite, which gives the wine a particular minerality and freshness. The Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and sea breezes, favors optimal ripening of the grapes.

Vinification: The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected. Vinification involves temperature-controlled fermentation, with maceration on the skins to best extract the aromatic and tannic characteristics. This is followed by aging in French oak barriques for about 12 months, which adds complexity and rounds out the tannins.
