About Winery and Wines
The estate was born 5 years ago, the vines are made up of 50% vermentinu for the white, but also niellucciu for 45%, grenache at 2.5%, sciacarellu at 2.5%, for the red. Cultivation atypical and unique in the Patrimoniu region, where the entire estate is made of contoured terraces. The average slope is 45% The trellising is unitary, and each vine is worked there and deserves its particular attention. It is a form of cordon de roya which is used for the conduct of the vine, with the particularity of being brought on a stake and then a hoop. The latter makes it possible to increase the length of the arms of the vine (we go from 80 cm on a standard vine to 140cm). The objective is to have a larger number of clusters but also smaller and therefore more concentrated. We seek to work with a qualitative product, to the detriment of quantity. We carry out an annual grassing, and favor endemic species, the vine lives in harmony with its environment which happens to be a real place of life both from the point of view of fauna and flora. You will find immortelles, wild lavender, crocuses, arbutus, orchids, ... but also kites, bee-eaters, swallows, snakes, ladybugs ... maturity and brought and whole bunch to the press. The pressing of the grapes is carried out very early, in order to have an ideal temperature for a ripe grape.
