On a steep slope, on a hillside, planted in poor soil, the vine has no other choice than to produce little but to do it well: enduring the dry summers thanks to its deep roots, its work consists of concentrating the best of the terroir (limestone bedrock near the roots and abundant sunshine) in its golden grapes.
