Production Process Harvested at the height of their ripeness, when they reach the correct balance of sugars and acidity, grapes enter the cellar early in the morning and are crushed. After a month of vinification on the skins in steel tanks, we proceed with pressing and subsequent eaging. The latter lasts approximately 12 months and takes place half in steel and half in tonneaux. In this way we control the evolution of the wine and best enhance all the typical characteristics of this vine. Both wine batches are then blended and filtered; bottling and packing procedures follow.

Organoleptic Characteristics Bright red with violet tinges. On the nose aromas of red fruits and spices; on the palate balanced tannins, the herbaceous notes are well harmonized with the peppery finish.
