Production notes

40- to 70-year-old vines. Trained in the vaso system and undergo vigorous canopy management and green harvest. Only the most perfectly mature bunches are selected. The fully matured bunches are harvested into small boxes and selected grapes are placed into small stainless-steel tanks with a capacity between 7 to 8 tons. The must is then gently basket pressed. The wine is aged for 20 months in new French and American oak barrels.

Tasting notes

Complex with black fruit and balsamic aromas pleasantly toasted and with a certain rustic character. Well-structured in the mouth, with pleasant tannins which are emphasized by the contribution of quality wood. Powerful and silky.
