The wine is deep cherry red in colour. The nose is intensely aromatic and shows a perfect balance of balsamic notes and sweet spices from the barrel ageing process with forest fruits, berries and liquorice that remind us of the Mediterranean. The palate is velvety and dense marked by soft, fine tannins and by a long and fruity finish, revealing the elegance of a traditional wine.
VINEYARDS: Rigorous work in the vineyard followed Hand harvesting into 20kg boxes with exhaustive selection in the field ensured the collection of great quality grapes.
VINTAGE: The 2019 vintage was marked by little rainfall, slightly below average. At the end of May, rainfall hindered fruit set in some varieties that were in full bloom. This, together with the plant's water stress, produced loose clusters and small berries. Temperatures throughout the growing season reflected the fact that the winter was not very cold, but the summer was characterized by heat waves. This season was characterized by favourable weather throughout the harvest. It is expected to be a great vintage in terms of quality.
WINEMAKING: Once in the winery, the grapes were held in a refrigerated chamber for 24 hours and then subject to second manual selection on a selection table. To ensure gentle handling, the grapes were fed by gravity to French oak vats for alcoholic fermentation. Once completed the wine was then aged in French and American oak barrels for 24 months, followed by 36 months of bottle ageing in our century-old cellars until being released to market.

- Pizza/Pasta
- Casseroles/Stews
