WINEMAKING
The sorting begins in the vineyard and is completed on the sorting belt before the grapes are transferred to the tanks. A period of pre-fermentation cold soaking follows, with fermentation temperatures of 18 - 22°C. Extraction and alcoholic fermentation last about 20 days, followed by malolactic fermentation.
AGING
12 months aging in 300lt French oak barrels. Reductive aging in the bottle for another 6 months.
TASTING NOTES
Delicate aromas of red fruits, tomato, and olive paste that blend perfectly with the wood from aging. Elegant and light with soft yet aggressive tannins and excellent balance. Exhibits great aging potential.
