- This wine is translucent purple in colour with bright ruby hues. The nose opens gradually to show great aromatic complexity. Notes of fresh cherries, menthol, graphite, pine sap, truffle, and blackcurrant are accompanied by a balsamic note and a distinct earthiness. The palate is ample, juicy, and crisp, with great grip. The finish is persistent and pure.
The grapes were vinified for 25 days in concrete vats and then fermented with 15% whole clusters and indigenous yeasts. The temperature was kept at 24 degrees throughout the entire process to maintain the purity of the fruit aromas. The wine was then aged in untoasted, 3,500-litre French oak foudres for 15 months. It was softly filtrated before bottling and then aged 12 months in a bottle.
