Tasting notes
With a marvellous balance of components, this wine has an intense ruby red colour. Its bouquet has hints of red and black berries - black cherry, raspberry, blueberry and red and blackcurrants. These are followed by delicate citrus notes that add a lovely freshness. Even the floral hints characterise the profile of this wine with aromas that bring to mind violets and rosehip. In conclusion, the delicate bouquet of spicy notes of black pepper and balsamic notes, further enhance the sensation of an elegant freshness. On the palate, the acidity and alcohol are perfectly balanced. The tannic texture is clearly present and is extremely elegant.
Vinification
As soon as they were harvested, the grapes were immediately taken to the cellar. Once de-stemmed, the natural fermentation process began in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. The wine remained in the vats at the end to finish maceration. After racking, malolactic fermentation took place, still in in the vats.
Ageing
Several months in barriques, followed by several months in bottle.
Food pairing
Full-flavoured dishes such as pasta or lasagna with a meat sauce, as well as roasted chicken, sauteed beef with vegetables and medium-aged cheeses.
