Tasting note
Highly aromatic and complex with notes of sweet crushed blackberry, truffle, earth and smoke.
In the press
95/100 - Once again, a fresh, nervy vigno from De Martino that won't tire you despite the deep ruby-purple color. Freshly crushed blueberries, racy sour cherries, blue plums and touches of blue flowers, graphite, tomato leaves and hibiscus. Medium-bodied on the palate with fresh, fine tannins and a mouthwatering finish. Racy, bright and very nervy. 85% carignan with a mix of malbec and grapes like cinsault and pais. From Sauzal. So delicious now, but will hold.
Vinification
The grapes are destemmed and the whole berries (no crushing involved) are gently placed in tank, undergoing cold maceration for seven days. Alcoholic fermentation is spontaneous, once finished the wine was left in contact with the skins for 20 days before being racked into 5,000 lts Foudres where it was aged for two years.
Food Match
Red meats, such as wild boar and venison, game.
