Terroir: The vineyards are located on soils of alluvial origin, with a predominantly sandy structure and the presence of clay and silt. The Mediterranean climate with significant diurnal temperature variations contributes to the aromatic concentration and freshness of the wine, promoting optimal grape ripening.

Vinification: The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected. After fermentation, the wine ages in oak barrels for about 10 months, a process that gives it aromatic complexity and structure, softening the tannins and accentuating the spicy notes.
