Tasting notes

An intense purplish red wine. The nose is characterized by notes of ripe red fruit, raspberries and sour cherries, combined with a touch of vanilla and a slight balsamic hint. On the palate, the wine is soft, balanced and well-supported by a pleasant crispness and smooth tannins, characteristics that together with its sweet aftertaste give the wine a persistent finish.

Vinification

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at 28°C for 10 days. Maceration on the skins for 18 days.

Ageing

12 months in barriques: part new, part re-used wooden barriques.

Food pairing

Excellent on its own or with steak, game and ripe cheeses.
