Tasting Notes:
Typical garnet red. Bouquet packed with floral and fruity aromas. Elegant, robust body, nicely soft on the finish; showing hints of cherries and wild berries.
Vinification: The grapes are crushed and destemmed immediately after picking. Maceration follows for 15 to 20 days in special tanks to allow for a gradual release of the noble components in the skins. When the ideal rapport has been reached between the extracted tannins and color, the wine is drawn off and the first racking are carried out.
Aging: Traditional-style, in oak casks for 24 months and a period in bottle for refinement.
Food Pairing: Red meats and game. Sirloin steak, roast kid, mature hard cheeses.
