Wines in clay amphorae are wines vinified and/or aged in containers whose shape and size are inspired by the wine vases used by our Roman ancestors, the « dolia ».
The absence of contact with wood allows us to obtain pure and mineral wines that reveal the full expression of the terroir and the fruit.
