Viticulture

The soil is of granitic origin, sprinkled with sand and clay. The estate has about 12 hectares of Cannonau and a few hectares of an old white variety (Granazza). The vines are grown at an altitude of about 600 metres, in a goblet system. The estate carries out its own massal selection from old stocks. The vines are ploughed twice a year, with oxen and plough, and with a hoe for the steepest areas. There is no irrigation, organic farming.
