Production philosophy

It practices organic farming with attention to biodiversity, the soil and workers' health. The wine is conceived as the fruit of vineyard work. In the winery, techniques that respect the integrity of the grapes are favored, such as fermentation with indigenous yeasts and the use of gravity-flow winemaking principles.
