After the grapes were hand-selected and harvested in October, they were placed into stainless steel tanks for a 15-day fermentation and maceration period. The wine remained in stainless steel for a short period, after which it was transferred to large oak tanks for 6 months, enough time for the wine to go through the malolactic fermentation. Around the end of August, the wine was bottled and aged an additional 3-4 months in the bottle prior to release. |

Intense ruby color, with garnet highlights. Delicate floral and fruit aromas on the nose, particularly of small forest berries, and a spiciness that increases with age. On the palate, the wine is dry and concise, with good tannins. |
