The vines, aged between 30 and 50 years, are trained in the Guyot system on small natural terraces, yielding approximately 1.5 kg of grapes per plant. The vineyard spans 1 hectare on calcareous-marly soil of morainic origin, rich in minerals. Its optimal sun exposure ensures the maturation of grapes of exceptional quality.

The grapes are hand-picked in 5 kg crates at the end of October, selecting only the best bunches at optimal ripeness. The grapes are dried in the same crates for 3 months in a dedicated drying room with controlled temperature, humidity, and ventilation.

Between January and February, the dried grapes are crushed using a destemmer-crusher, and the first juice naturally released from the berries is collected and placed in a steel vat where it is clarified at 8°C. The clear juice ferments at a controlled temperature of 14°C for about 20 days. The wine is then racked off the coarse lees and aged in steel tanks and American oak barrels for 2 years, followed by at least 6 months of bottle aging.

Alice is a wine of great structure, with a striking rose gold color. On the nose, it reveals aromas of rose, grapefruit, dried fruit (almond), white pepper, and aromatic herbs (thyme and sage). On the palate, it delivers a fresh and intense bouquet with an excellent balance between acidity and sweetness.
