Hand-harvested from mid-end September, we take care to select only the very best grapes.
The dried grapes are softly pressed in December/ January. Fermentation is in stainless steel tanks at 22-23°C and the wine undergoes maceration on the skins for 20 days, with daily remontages. 60% of the wine is aged in medium toasted French oak barriques for 18 months.
Deep garnet in colour. An ethereal nose: vanilla, spices, cherryish notes and plums. Full-bodied, warm and velvety.
A big red, ideal with roasted meats, game and mature cheeses. We recommend opening it an hour in advance and serving at a temperature of 17-18°C.
