Our plot

Sulfur is generally used to preserve and protect the wine by lessening the presence of bacteria and yeasts that can be harmful to its aromatic quality. When used excessively, sulfur can have harmful effects, first on our health because it can provoke headaches or allergic reactions. But also for the wine, running the risk of losing its aromas and characteristics if excessively exposed to sulfur.

Old vines - planted in 1970
