Wine Making /

as with all of the vineyards for our red wines, the vine thinning is done at two separate periods. The harvest is carried out by hand by a specialized staff during two separate periods, as well, with 6 – 10 days in between. The wine ferments in steel macerators to guarantee correct skin-must contact and an adequate extraction of color. After, the wine is transferred to 600 – liter tonneaux, 2000 – liter oak barrels, and in wooden barrels that have been used at least two times already. Here, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation for 12 – 15 months before being transferred, once more, to steel before bottling.

Tasting Note /

intense ruby in color, this wine has profumes of raspberry and nuances of rose and vanilla. In the mouth it has soft tannins that balance the warmth of its substantial body. Traces of dried red berries, currant, and raspberry.
