Production notes
Once the grapes arrive at the winery, they are gently destemmed to avoid breaking the skins, then further hand-sorted on a selection table. A pre-fermentation maceration is carried out, followed by alcoholic fermentation lasting 30-32 days in concrete vats. The wine is aged in French oak barriques, 30% new and 70% second use, for 6 months. After blending, the wine is returned to the barriques for an additional 6 months of aging.
Tasting notes
