WINEMAKING
De-stalking and crushing of the grapes – alcoholic fermentation in vats with rack and return twice a day (temperature carefully controlled to reach 27°C / 81°F at the end of the fermentation) – micro oxygenation before malolactic fermentation to enhance the color and to supple the tannins.
TASTING NOTE
Deep garnet red with purple highlights. Good intensity, mixing ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry) with flattering toasty and spicy notes when agitated. Round and smooth on the palate with velvety tannins. Long fruity aftertaste with notes of vanilla and licorice.
