Description

Small quantities of healthy, ripe grapes are harvested by hand from vines between 70 and 80 years old. Eighty percent of the grapes are destemmed by hand in a 30-hl wooden fermentation tank, while the remainder is processed whole bunches using 10-hl vats. Spontaneous fermentation occurs without temperature control, with daily punching down by foot, hand, or wooden punchers, followed by pressing after 10-12 days. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and remains on the fine lees in two 20-hl used oak barrels before being blended in February of the year following harvest without fining or filtration.

Tasting

Crimson red in color, this wine presents a captivating aroma of cherry and strawberry, followed by white flowers and blood orange. The rich palate confirms notes of red fruit with hints of spice. Ripe tannins and a pronounced savory characterize the fruity and structured palate.

Pairings
