Tasting notes
The colour of this wine has no equal: its cherry-red hue catches the light in the most seductive fashion. At first, the nose offers a stunning display of spices ranging from pepper and nutmeg to touches of paprika and green pepper. The sensations are subtle and never too strong. Other pleasures are to be found on the palate, such as delicate fruity flavours matching a graceful structure, a velvety texture and elegant tannins.
Vinification
Harvesting by hand and transportation in small crates to preserve the fruit. Sorting of the grapes two times – in the vineyard and at the winery. Maceration and vinification take 2 to 3 weeks. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Maceration and fermentation temperatures are under strict control in order to completely manage the process of extraction (extraction gives colour and substance to a wine but should never be detrimental to its finesse and typical character).
Ageing
In French oak barriques (20% new) for 14 to 18 months.
Food pairing
Excellent with various roasted meats, barbecue, game, soft cheeses, pasta and risotto with pesto, mushroom or tomato sauce.
