Description
Beautiful ruby rich red with purple undertones. This wine balances distinct notes of fruit with spicy white pepper, liquorice and hints of the Mediterranean macchia. A warm, rounded and vibrant wine with a fine tannin structure and very long finish.
Production notes – The grapes were hand-harvested with four stages of strict sorting: first, on the vine, then by individual clusters, and then again by single berry following de-stemming and sorting table. The selected grapes go directly into the concrete vats using gravity only. The fermentation and maceration take a total of 3 weeks maximizing the extraction of varietal character and complexity while keeping the tannins round and supple. After the fermentation the wine is drained followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged 15 months in French oak barrels.
