Tasting

Aroma, flavor and perfume

The color is amber, with an intense and variegated array of scents, including hints of apricot and dried figs.

To the palate it is rich and dense, with nuances of honey and mediterranean herbs.

Production method

The production method is strictly aimed at defending the territorial connotation.

Each year, the best bunches produced by these plants are ripened in the late summer sun, then harvested by hand and dried in the cellars. Towards the end of the year, they are pressed in traditional presses. Fermentation is natural and the wine is aged in partially filled barrels. After aging, which can last as long as 8 years, the base wines from different vintages are assembled into a blend.
