Product notes
The grapes for this wine come from our three Pinot Noir plots, "Girlan," "Pinzon," and "Mazon." The selected plots are particularly suited to production thanks to their geological and microclimatic characteristics. Located between 380 and 530 meters above sea level, the vines are characterized by moraine deposits on porphyritic volcanic rock, as well as by west-facing silty-limestone soils.
Production notes
The grapes are harvested by hand and placed in small containers to avoid excessive pressure. After destemming, the must is poured by gravity into steel vats where alcoholic fermentation takes place (20 to 22 days). After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in barrels (70%) and small 12 hl barrels (30%). Finally, the wine is kept for a further 6 months in bottle.
Tasting notes
Ruby red in color. Characterized by fresh aromas of wild berries and morello cherries. This wine reveals great elegance and pronounced fruitiness, with velvety, delicate tannins and a lingering finish. Pairs well with white meats, roasts, and grilled fish.
