Terroir
Penon is situated above Magrè, between 500 and 600 metres above sea level, with exposure to the east/south-east. The soil consists exclusively of limestone gravel with a high percentage of humus.
Climate
The Mediterranean climate, along with cool winds known as Venti di Caduta, allows for a longer period of growth and a late harvest in mid-October.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand. Afterwards, the clarified must is fermented at a low temperature for around three weeks in stainless steel tanks. The young wine is aged on the lees for a further seven months, in 30 hl oak barrels.
