Tasting notes
Rich, opaque ruby red colour. Complex nose with notes of sweet red pepper, cherry, cocoa, earthy notes, enriched by hints of rosemary and mint. The body is juicy, fruity and ripe with notes of black fruit and roasted red pepper in the long finish.
Vinification
The grapes are selected and harvested by hand. Cold maceration at 8°C in oak vessels with a capacity of 3500 kg and in roto barrels made of Austrian oak with a capacity of 450 kg, for a period of 7 days. Fermentation takes place for 3 weeks, followed by maceration at 31°C of the fermented grapes for 3-4 days. The malolactic fermentation takes place in oak barrels of 225 l for a period of 4 weeks.
Ageing
The wine is aged for 20 months - 20% of it is aged in new French barriques, and the remaining 80%, in used French oak barrels.
Food pairing
Pairs well with red meats, traditional pork and game meat dishes, pasta and mature cheeses. Also beautiful on its own.
