Tasting Notes: Fresh and elegant aromas of red and black fruits like strawberries, with spicy hints of black pepper. This is a youthful yet complex wine with aromas of black olive, Mediterranean herbs and eucalyptus beginning to emerge. The palate is rich and full-bodied while retaining its freshness with a long, satisfying finish.
Winemaking: Fermentation with native yeasts is very traditional, with part of whole bunches. Short macerations and high fermentation temperatures guarantee the correct conduct of the process. The wines finish in used 500-litre barrels where they undergo malolactic fermentation and remain on their lees until spring, at which time they are transferred to 5,000-litre foudres to mature for an additional 12 months before bottling.
