Tasting notes
Very deep cherry red colour with garnet hues. Aromas of very ripe black fruit on the nose intermingled with fine balsamic and spiced nuances. A wine with a very broad mouthfeel, powerful, well balanced and with a long lingering finish.
Vinification
Harvest of very ripe grapes. Once at the winery, they are selected on sorting tables. gently destemmed and were poured almost whole into small 5,200 L stainless steel conical tanks where they underwent pre-fermentation maceration for a few days at a low temperature prior to alcoholic fermentation which was carried out with local yeasts at 28-30ºC. The wine then underwent malolactic fermentation in barrels of French oak.
Ageing
20 months in barrels, half new and half one-year old, of French oak by different cooperages.
Food pairing
Roasted or grilled red meats, casseroles and cured cheeses.
