Vinification
The harvest takes place at the end of September with picking
by hand and selection of the best and most sun-exposed grape bunches.
The grapes are destemmed and gently crushed, followed by
temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats at
22-24°C. Maceration for 10 days with regular daily delestage
and pumping over. 6 months in stainless steel vats, 2 months in large
barrels and 3 months of bottle-aging.
Gastronomy
Pasta first courses with elaborate sauces,
grilled red meat and fatty fish.
Sensory characteristics
Intense, deep ruby red in colour. On the nose,
it conveys notes of wild strawberries, redcurrants
and sweet spices. On the palate, it is velvety and
harmonious, full-bodied and mellow while maintaining a lively edge.
