The grapes used to produce this wine come from eight plots of sustainably cultivated vineyards, aged between 12 and 40 years.
After the harvest, the grapes are refrigerated in a cold storage room, and there they are destemmed into a tank; 25% of the bunches are pressed whole, while the remaining part is destemmed and crushed. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks occurs using indigenous yeasts, with temperatures never exceeding 28°C, and maceration lasts from 4 to 6 weeks. Subsequently, the wine completes malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels, where it ages for 11 months.
Each grape variety present in the blend of this wine contributes to its balance: Carignan brings freshness, Tinta Barocca adds tannins, Grenache provides fruit and character, and finally, Syrah harmoniously unites everything.
A very interesting and pleasant sip on the palate that offers pleasant spicy notes to the nose that blend perfectly with the aromas of black berry fruits. It is recommended to be consumed in combination with not too aged cheeses and meat-based dishes.
