Age of the Vineyard
From the selection of vineyards in the 1980s, in-depth investigations have been conducted to identify the most suitable mother plants for grafting and replanting, which took place in the early 2000s.
After pressing and destemming the selected grapes, fermentation begins at between 28°C and 30°C. The entire maceration process takes place in steel tanks for 16-20 days with automatic punching down and daily pumping over. In March-April the new wine is transferred to new French oak barriques and after 18-20 months of maturation it is assembled and bottled. In glass the refinement is guaranteed for at least 6-8 months before being released for sale.
Ruby red color with good intensity and tones. Spicy on the nose, floral notes and small red and black fruits, with mineral hints and a light toasted note. On the palate hints of spices with young, consistent and soft tannins, straight and tight in the finish, engaging in flavor and acidity.
