Pressing and fermentation follow to finish with a slow aging in oak barrels which gives the wine refinement and complexity. This system makes it possible to have concentrations of aromas and flavors that make this wine a journey to discover dozens of different feelings that sometimes go beyond our memories. It is a wine that every 20 to 30 minutes develops and changes in the glass with a growing of flavors.
Tasting notes
Garnet color of good intensity. Exuberant nose with aromas of cocoa, candied prune, spices, wood with subtle vegetal notes. This dry red has a pleasant freshness and is provided with fleshy tannins. Faithful to the aromas perceived on the nose, it evokes flavors of roasting, cooked fruit and tobacco. It reveals a full texture that lingers on a long finish. Ideal with rich and spicy dishes, osso buco, game and matured and spicy cheeses.
