2022 was crafted with a gentle, precise approach: cold maceration, careful extraction, and fermentation between 26–28°C. After 12–20 days on skins, the wine was pressed using natural CO₂ protection. Ageing lasted 12 months: 67% in 500L demi-muids, 33% in concrete eggs — enhancing purity, texture, and fruit definition.
