winemaking
Harvest by hand and with casks. Separate harvesting of the grapes when phenolic maturation is reached. Alcoholic fermentation at controlled T° kept between 28°C-30°C in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barriques. Refining: in French oak barriques for a period of twelve-fifteen months. Additional twelve months in bottle.
organoleptical characteristics
Color: intense ruby red, with purple hints. Bouquet: intriguing and very intense; clear notes of ripe blackberries and blueberries that fuse together with spicy notes of vanilla and toasted coffee coming from the barriques “élevage”. Taste: of great structure and elegance, it confirms the notes picked up with the smell. Characterized by dense tannins. Aromatic and long lasting persistence.
matching food
Indicated to accompany red meats, roasts. Seasoned cheeses.
