The grapes are carefully selected and collected. Maceration takes place in concrete tanks for 25/30 days. The wine is then placed in steel tanks until the month of December, after which it takes a step into a large barrel and barrique of third or fourth ride for 10-12 months, allowing for the ripening of tannins. It follows an ageing in bottle for 8 months.
Red coloured wine of 2016 vintage with pleasant purple tones. Good body, good acidity and freshness, with prevailing floral notes, hints of red rose and violet. The scents of red fruits prevail, with mature fruit trends as the red fruit, blueberry, cherry and plum, slightly spicy. A wine of great harmony, typical and balanced, of great character.
Serving temperature 18°C. Excellent wine to accompany dishes as sausage and mushroom lasagne, baked red meat or platter of cold cuts and cheeses of medium maturing.
