Product description
The grapes are hand-harvested in mid-September, followed by fermentation and maceration in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 25–28 °C for at least 18–22 days. The wine is then stirred, and the temperature is lowered to 18–20 °C to allow for malolactic fermentation. Aging takes place in traditional French oak barrels with capacities of 3,500 L and 500 L. After 18 months, the wine is bottled and ages for another 6 months before being released to the market.

Ruby red in color, which evolves into garnet red as it ages. On the nose, it impresses with its intensity, remarkable balance, and persistence. The aromas evoke fresh red and dark fruits, underbrush, and sweet spices, along with delicate floral notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and enveloping, with a balanced and refined structure.
