| Tasting note |
After selection, the grapes are destemmed and lightly crushed. Once the alcoholic fermentation has concluded, a secondary malolactic fermentation process takes place to lower the acidity of the wine. The wine is then transferred to medium-toast American oak barrels where it remains for 12 months, with racking taking place every 6 months.
Crimson red with ruby highlights. Aromas of ripe fruit, toasted oak and hints of vanilla. Structured and smooth on the palate, well-structured with elegant tannins. Good balance between fruits and spice in its long finish.
Well suited to a variety of poultry dishes, vegetables and grilled meats, as well as pasta dishes and cheese. |
