| Tasting note |
After selection, the grapes are processed in the traditional way – once destemmed, they are lightly crushed. When the alcoholic fermentation has concluded, a secondary malolactic fermentation process takes place to lower the acidity of the wine. The wine is then transferred to medium-toast American oak barrels (Ohio) where it remains for two years, and is racked every 6 months, using the traditional cask to cask method.
Ruby-red colour of medium-high intensity, with a nose that presents marked balsamic aromas and elegant tones of spice and tobacco leaf. Smoothness dominates in the mouth, adding elegance and maturity to its long finish.
Red meat dishes, roasts, game, rich-flavoured cheeses. |
