Description
Red color with shiny violet tones. Very complex and elegant bouquet. Plenty of wild red fruits like blackberries and cherries, licorice and delicate hints of flowers. On the palate, the wine shows a remarkable balance with very elegant, delicate and silky tannins. Great combined with red meats, games, rich cheeses and chocolate.
Deleafing and green picking is performed in December. Harvest is realized manually in small trays of 20kg in order not to damage the grapes. Double selection is performed: first selection of bunches and second selection grape by grape.
