Production notes

Destemming the grapes. Short pre-fermentation maceration followed by fermentation in vats for 6-8 days with fairly frequent pumping over. All the wine is aged in oak barrels for 9-12 months. Made in an inert atmosphere for the total deoxygenation of the bottle.

Tasting notes

The attack on the palate is very tasty, marked by fresh notes of menthol, thanks to the acidity very balanced by a large volume of sweet tannins, in a whole that ends in a long and persistent finish. Pairings with meats on the BBQ.
