- Vineyard planting
- Older vineyard parcels are planted at low density; despite their age they have reached productive balance thanks to well-developed root systems, which brings out the site's typicity. Newer plantings exceed 4,000 vines per hectare, laid out to make the most of sun exposure. All vineyard work, from winter pruning to summer green pruning, is done by hand to avoid stressing the vines.
