VINIFICATION AND AGING

The grapes are vinified in stainless steel where cold maceration is initially carried out for about ten days. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature and lasts for about a month. Malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously in 500-liter tonneaux, where the wine is aged for 24 months. Rests in bottles for at least 6 months.

TASTING NOTES

Red color tending to deep purple. This is a full-bodied wine supported by pleasant acidity. Hints of small ripe red and black fruits on the nose, along with spicy and woody notes. Soft and rich on the palate, with elegant, silky tannins and a lingering fresh finish.

FOOD PAIRINGS

A full-bodied wine, it goes well with red meats, roasts and aged cheeses. Serving temperature: 18 – 20° C.
