PRODUCTION NOTES
The hand harvest is carried out in mid-September, followed by fermen- tation and maceration in steel barrels at a temperature of 25-28° for a minimum of 18-22 days. The raking then takes place and the temperature is lowered to 18-20° to allow the malolactic fermentation. The refinement is done in traditional French oak barrels of 3500 lt. and 500 lt. After 18 months the wine is bottled and then aged for a further 6 months before being released on the market.
TASTING NOTES
Ruby red color tending to garnet with aging. On the nose we have a impressive intensity, remarkable balance and persistence. The aromas recall notes of fresh red and dark fruits, undergrowth and sweet spices, together with delicate floral tones. In the mouth it is full and enveloping, with a balanced and fine body.
