Total destemming of the grapes and selection of the best fruits in the vineyard and on the sorting table. Aged in French barrels for 30 months

It is a wine of great elegance and volume and its good acidity gives it liveliness. The soft tannins give it lots of structure and balance. Pairing dishes with sauce.
