Ecosystems
The vineyards cover 25 hectares of land, with new plantings added every year. They are located at an altitude of 400 - 600 m and are influenced by the warm Mediterranean climate and the considerable rainfall (620 mm / year, on average). The surrounding hills, the crystal gypsum, limestone and quartz rich soils, together with the uninterrupted exposure to the winds of the valley, modify the local mesoclimate.
Tasting Notes
Believed to derive from a term associated with early ripening, the white grape Promara is compelling for its drought tolerance, moderate sugars, and acid retention in hot conditions. This cuvée sees a one-week cold soak then spontaneous fermentation in various-sized amphoras and five months aging. Full-bodied with tropical and stone fruits, butter, honey, and wild flower notes. Stony mineral core underlies a waxy body with a saline sharpness.
