A 100% Pinot Noir from organic vines planted on six parcels grown on two slopes – one facing south, made up of Jurassic era clay-limestone, and one facing north, more earthy, producing more powerful wines. Vinification: 40% of whole cluster, followed by 15 days in vats with daily cap punching. Matured invest for 18 months, without new oak.
