Vineyard and Production The vines are trained in the spalliera system at a density of 4,200 plants per hectare, yielding around 2,200 grams of grapes per plant.

Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
