  • The Winery

    • The grapes are picked by hand at peak maturity and carefully sorted in the vineyard. After destemming, and pressing the grapes undergo a short, cold, maceration (a few days). Fermentation temperatures are controlled at 28-29°C and fermentation lasts an average of 3 to 4 weeks. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for around 6 months and then bottled after a light filtration.

      Ripe red fruits with an elegant note of sweet spice. Even when young, the wine has remarkable aromatic complexity.

    • Food and wine pairing

      A versatile wine which can accompany any meal (vegetables, soups, Mediterranean cuisine). In the exuberance of its youth, this is a wine for 'Springtime drinking', evolving over two to three years to go brilliantly with white meats.
