  After the harvest, carried out in the third ten days of October, the grapes undergo alcoholic fermentation for around 10 days in stainless steel tanks, during which malolactic fermentation is also completed. Once the skins are racked off and after a period of maturation, the wine is aged in tonneaux for at least 5–6 months.

• TASTING NOTES

  Deep ruby in color. On the nose, typical wild berry notes of the variety stand out. Hints of tobacco and black pepper provide a backdrop, with well-integrated oak. On the palate it is full-bodied, youthfully vibrant in tannins, then softening over time into exceptional harmony.
