This wine comes from organic grapes of the local variety Mavrodafni Kefallinia that are grown in a biodynamic way in cup-shaped autoriz vineyards. The age of the vineyards is over seventy years, the altitude is about 250 meters and the soil composition is limestone (marl limestone - Maltese slab). The harvest takes place in the first fortnight of September. The winemaking process is biodynamic and includes a long extraction, completion of the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation with native yeasts, aged in French five-liter Allier oak barrels and in a three-ton oak winemaker for at least twelve months. The bottling process does not involve further procedures.
