They are destemmed and transported to the fermentation tanks, where fermentation and maceration occur over 10 days at moderate temperatures which give the wine great aromatic complexity. Aged for 12 months in French oak giving it significant elegance and complexity. The wine is matured in the bottle for over 12 months.
Winemaker’s notes
Deep ruby color. The aroma reveals earthy and fresh red fruits notes, with amplitude. In the mouth, freshly picked wood berry notes predominate, complexed with notes of pepper and spice. We are surprised by its structure, freshness and refined tannins. Complex profile, with a silky and elegant finish.
