Description

From 10 to 30-year-old vines on clayey-calcareous soil. Temperature-controlled fermentation, followed by 15-18 days’ maceration on the skins, with daily pumpovers; aged in barriques for 1 year, followed by 6 months’ bottle age. Full ruby colour with garnet hues; ample, classic bouquet of berry fruit, violets, iris and vanilla; chewy, abundant fruit, silky texture, good body, balance and extract. A very food-friendly red that can be enjoyed both with pasta, risotto and first courses, and with meat-based dishes.
