Harvest method:

-
Vinification: once
in the cellar, grapes are manually selected in the rolling tape
before de-stemming and pressage. Fermentation takes place under
the highest control, in order to obtain the maximum result from
the extracting phase, with délestages and circulation pumping,
to extract color and fruitiness from the skins. Fermentation is
done under controlled temperature between 27° and 31° C, to
preserve as much as possible the original aromatic qualities of
the fruit. After the alcoholic fermentation is finished, the
wine is transferred into French oak barriques, where the
malolactic fermentation takes place. At the end of the ageing in
barrique, the wine is bottled after a careful tasting.
-
Barrel ageing: 18
months in 225 L barriques.

TASTING NOTES
Deep ruby red in color,
complex, rich bouquet, complemented by sweet, dense tannins and a
lively acidity. On the nose it is powerful with scent of undergrowth
black fruits ending with vanilla, spicy aromas of tobacco and light
balsamic notes. In the mouth it is smooth, warm and velvety with a
very long finish. All its components are in perfect harmony,
creating a wine of remarkable structure.
Alcohol: 14,5% Vol.
Serving temperature:
16-18° C..
