The farm covers 270 hectares of which 170 are planted with vines with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, as well as more recent plantings of white grape varieties such as Vermentino, Ansonica and Viognier, and a small share of Carménère. The soil, of medium texture, sandy and silty, has a predominantly siliceous-clayey composition and is, in certain areas, rich in skeleton.
