Tasting Notes
Very intense and elegant ruby red color; ample and complex fruity fragrance with hints of plum, cherry jam
and tobacco, slightly spicy; a full-bodied wine, soft and rich in tannins, with a finish that offers notes of
cocoa, coffee and vanilla.
Vinification
Grapes are hand-harvested in advanced status of ripening.
Destemming and crushing followed by cold soak maceration at 8°C for
about 24-48 hours. Thermo-controlled maceration and alcoholic
fermentation for about 10 days with autochthonous yeasts at 24-26°C.
Soil
Loam, finely textured and rich in iron oxides that give the topsoil
the distinctive red hue. Calcareous subsoil (limestone) with few
emerging rocks.
Aging
Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks and then in
French and American oak barrels for 12 months.
