The eight plots fall between 680 and 820 meters and all vineyard work, from organic treatments to grass management and the harvest itself, is done by hand. The wines are named after these individual plots, with an additional 5% made with fruit purchased from one or two neighbouring growers who work organically and with a deep respect for the environment.
