Tasting Notes:
Ruby red color with garnet notes. Intensely winey aroma with notes of ripe fruit, spices, and persistent soft scents. On the palate it is pleasantly tannic, harmonious, and velvety.
Aging: 18 months, 50% in big oak barrel & 50% in barriques, 3 months in bottle.
Winemaking: All grapes are manually harvested, once they reach the perfect phenolic maturation, and separately vinified. The fermenting juice undergoes a prolonged temperature-controlled maceration in stainless steel tanks, with frequent pump overs to ensure an intense color extraction and structure. Once the fermentation is over the wine is racked into our ageing barrel cellar.
Food Pairing: Grilled meat, mushroom-based dishes, and hard cheeses.
