Terroir: The Syrah grapes for Keir come from the vineyards of Suvereto, on soils of alluvial and calcareous-clay origin that give the wine a distinctive minerality. The area's Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot and breezy summers, favors perfect grape ripening, enhancing aromatic concentration and freshness.

Vinification: The grapes are hand-harvested and vinified in terracotta amphorae, a method that preserves the integrity of the fruit and gives the wine a particular gustatory transparency. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, and aging continues in amphora for about six months, allowing the wine to develop a silky texture and aromatic complexity without the influence of wood.
