| 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 (Ohio) where it remains for 18 months, with racking taking place every 6 months.
Vibrant ruby-red colour. On the nose it is characterised by overtones of ripe red fruits, subtle toasted aromas, sweet spices and delicate hints of caramel. Excellent texture on the palate, full-flavoured, displaying a broad range of nuances and a perfect balance between oak and fruits.
Casseroles and stews, vegetables, grilled, barbecued and roast meats. |
