Tasting notes
A splendid impenetrable and deep ruby red colour. Complex on the nose, it offers notes of blueberries, ripe blackberries, plum and black cherry that leave ample room for tertiary hints such as cocoa powder and roasted coffee. The bouquet is also characterized by a sweet spiciness, with hints of nutmeg; on the finish are developed tertiary aromas of toasted hazelnut and coffee which persist for a long time. In the mouth is lively, intense, with a dense and silky tannic texture.
Vinification
The vineyard is located at an altitude of 200 meters above sea level, on clayey soils, with south-west exposure. Alcoholic fermentation took place spontaneously in stainless steel containers at controlled temperature, with light pumping over especially in the first days. Malolactic fermentation took place in new French oak barriques, where the wine was aged for the following months
Ageing
Several months in new French oak barriques, followed by several months in bottle.
Food pairing
Excellent on its own or with steak, game and ripe cheeses.
