Vinification
Manual harvesting of the grapes which are de-stemmed, crushed and left to macerate for about 20/25 days in concrete tanks. During this period, a series of pumping over every other day and a delestage are performed. These operations are used to promote oxygenation and to facilitate the passage of color and tannin.
Then, at the end of the period where the must remained in contact with the skins, the racking takes place. The must obtained is placed in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for about 1 week.
The aging of the wine will continue in 500-liter oak barrels for 2 years until bottling which usually takes place in summer. Then it will be left to refine in the bottle for at least 6/7 years, before being put on sale.
tasting notes
Intense ruby red color with purple hues. Scent hints of fruit such as plum and cherry and with delicate notes of vanilla and cocoa. Full, robust and dry flavor that recalls the scent.
pairing suggestions
Excellent with game-based dishes, with beef and with aged cheeses.
