Tasting note
Powerfully blackcurranty wine, spilling over with fruit, fragrant with intertwining aromas of vanilla and spice.
Viticulture

Vinification
Hand-harvested grapes undergo careful selection and optical sorting. Fermentation lasts about 12 days with customized techniques for each batch. 20-day maceration for quality extraction. After pressing and separation, malolactic fermentation begins in barrels. Blending in winter, minimum 12 months ageing. Max 50% new barrels.
