Vinification

Following the old traditional vinification method, completely mature grapes are manually harvested from vineyards. Gentle grape pressing, maceration in stainless steel tanks and controlled temperature fermentation. In January the wine is decanted into oak barrels where its ages for about 12 months and after a period in stainless steel tanks the wine is finished with refining in the bottle. Bottle lifespan: on sale 3 years after the harvest; bottle-ageing even for a further 10 years.

Tasting notes

Intense ruby red color. Rich with ripe dark berry fruit and fruit preserves bouquet, enlivened with a delicate vein of spice and balsamic notes. Full and well-rounded taste with notably refined, silky tannins. A seductive acidity keeps all the components in balance, prolonging a finish that has an appealing freshness. Serve at 18°C.

Food pairing

Ideal to accompany roasts, chops and mature cheeses.
