Ruby dress with shaded edges. Absolutely intense nose, on display black cherries in alcohol, morello cherry, plum, floral, sweet spice tones, and a breath of Mediterranean scrub. Fine territorial synthesis of taste, with dense tannins of excellent texture and tasty freshness that make it a harmonious picture of great depth. Persistent closure on smoky notes.
– Hand harvesting and careful selection of the grapes in the field and in the cellar;
– Alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature with selected yeast strains.
– Maceration on the skins (15-20 days) and soft pressing.
