Winemaking. Fully ripe grapes macerate for 2 months. After pressing and malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for 48 months in 225 litre French oak barriques.
Colour. Extremely intense ruby colour with a garnet rim.
Nose. Intense notes of ripe dark fruit, blueberry jam, red pepper, dark chocolate and juniper berries, with a pleasant aroma of fine oak.
Palate. A very rich and complex palate with notes of ripe blueberry, morello cherry in brandy, dark chocolate and sweet spices. The finish brings sweetly velvety tannins and a pleasant, noble touch of oak.
An excellent companion to steaks, beef fillet, grilled meats and dishes with truffles and game.
