Impenetrable ruby red in color, with delicate purple hues. The nose is broad and intense, with hints of black fruits such as blueberries and blackberries that anticipate pleasant touches of cocoa and sweet tobacco. The long aging does not hide the fruit fragrance on the palate, well integrated with a vibrant acidity and with gentle tannins that define a wine with good body and excellent structure, with a long persistence.
A perfect accompaniment to Sunday roast beef, mixed vegetables and onion gravy.
With soils composed mainly of clay, sand and limestone, the vines are harvested in the second half of September. After a careful selection of the best grapes, vinification is carried out in steel at a controlled temperature between 22 ° C and 28 ° C. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the wine carries out the malolactic fermentation in barrique where it refines for a further 24 months.
