Description
WINEMAKING Grapes are harvested into cases and a hand selection is done in the winery. Grapes are cooled with dry ice before moving on to the wooden casks, where the wine ferments and remains with the skins for 25-30 days. After the malolactic fermentation in oak barrels, the wine is transferred into casks where it is aged for 12-14 months. The casks are made of 60% French oak and of 40%.
TASTING Dark red cherry colour with purple nuances. Ripe black fruit with toffee hints on the nose. Full-bodied, juicy tannins. A stand-out wine for its great persistence and unusual freshness and length.
