VINIFICATION


The grapes were harvested and selected by hand in several passes from mid to late
October. Fermentation with the grape's own natural yeasts took place for 3 weeks on the skins in open wooden vats. The wine was initially aged for 18 months in new oak tonneau. The wine was then bottled unfiltered and matured for a further 18 months.

 


DESCRIPTION


The wine has an intense garnet red colour, with a dense core and traces of slight lightening on the edges. A pronounced intensity of dark fruit aromas (ripe cherry, plum, blackberry), chocolate, accompanied by light tobacco, clove and slightly earthy notes. The wine is dry, the tannins are velvety, and the body is powerful. The palate is intense and complex (blackcurrant, blackberry, dark cherry, coffee), while the finish is long and persistent. Very pleasant to drink.

 


RECOMMENDED PAIRINGS


An excellent wine with grilled red meat, game, hearty specialities and mature cheese.
