Vinification:

Pre-fermentation maceration at 12–15°C for seven days.  Fermentation for approximately 20 days at 25–30 οC.  The young wine is transferred to 300-litre French-oak barrels for malolactic fermentation; it sits on its lees for a period of two months. Malolactic fermentation is followed by batonnage and the wine is given six months of ageing in cask.

Characteristics:

Scarlet, with blackcurrant tinges. Aromatic on the nose, showing hints of red fruit, with raspberry and blueberry to the fore, combined with earthy notes. Youthful and full in the mouth, aromatic, elegant, with pleasant acidity, eloquent. A wine of fascinating personality and bold fruity aftertaste.

  Enjoy with cold cuts, grilled meats.
