Vinification method: The grapes, harvested by hand, were cleaned of bunches and subjected to a maceration-fermentation in piston vinifiers, for 2 weeks. The wine has been aged for 1 year, in new French or American oak barrels or for a second use. Tasting notes: A wine created in a classic style, with a reduced yield of 6 tons / ha and an aging of 1 year in French oak barrels, followed by aging for 1 year in glass, to allow the integration of flavors obtained by aging in oak. The result is a full-bodied, robust wine, dominated by notes of berries and aromatic herbs, surrounded by unique notes of wood and vanilla resulting from aging in barrels. The taste reveals the complex structure of this wine, with fruity aromas that combines perfectly with roasted, spicy and licorice notes. Recommended serving temperature 16-18° C. It is necessary that the bottlebe opened half an hour before to be served and the wine to be decanted. Possible deposits certify the minimum intervention performed on the wine.
