Production and refinement

Vines growing on limestone soils at an altitude of 400 meters, for a Pinot Noir carefully hand-harvested.

The musts begin fermenting spontaneously for 10-15 days, thanks to the natural yeasts, in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to achieve the maximum expression of the variety's aromatic character. It then ages in barriques for 12 months, followed by an additional year in the bottle.

Alsace

Alsace is arguably the most famous French wine region in the world for white wines. It's a strip of land bordering Germany, historically contested between the two countries. Almost exclusively white grapes are cultivated here (including some of the most aromatic in the world: Gewürztraminer and Riesling) with which various styles of wines are produced. The only representative of red grapes in Alsace is Pinot Noir.

The climate is semi-continental due to its exceptional geographical location. The vineyards are shielded from oceanic influences by the Vosges massif, mostly facing south to southeast. The vines benefit from a dry microclimate, allowing for a long vine cycle and quality ripening of white grapes. A peculiarity of the region is the rapid variability of soils: an alternation of granite and limestone, with a myriad of solutions involving clay, schists, and gypsum, capable of offering the grape varieties much more subtle and intense aromatic nuances, fruity and mineral. Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Muscat d'Alsace, Pinot Gris, and Blanc for white berries, as well as Pinot Noir, are cultivated here.

Alsace is divided into two departments: Bas-Rhin, with Strasbourg as its capital, the northernmost area, and Haut-Rhin, to the south.

Lower Rhine

The Upper and Lower Rhine are two very different territories in terms of geographical, climatic, and cultural characteristics, geographically separated by the eponymous river, which flows through several European countries.

Bas-Rhin (Lower Rhine) is a department located in the Alsace region, in northeastern France, near Strasbourg. Lower Rhine is known for producing high-quality wines thanks to its mineral-rich soils and semi-continental climate. Here, primarily white grape varieties such as Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Sylvaner are cultivated, along with red varieties like Pinot Noir.

Alsace wines from Lower Rhine are especially appreciated for their varietal purity, expression of terroir, and structure. Alsace Rieslings are renowned for their vibrant acidity and mineral character.
