The vines were established here in 1994, on medium-textured soils rich in gravel and rocky outcrops, located at an altitude of 207 meters above sea level. The climate in this area is typically dry with well-ventilated summers. The vines are spurred cordon-trained and the grapes are harvested in the first or second week of September, in line with the other red-skinned varieties grown in the region.
