Tasting
Aroma, flavor and perfume
The color is a very deep ruby-red. An ample and intriguing nose opens with the fruited notes of blueberry, raspberry, black cherry and plum, followed by the mediterranean contingent: myrtle, rosemary and licorice.
The body is dense, full, smooth, with polished tannins. Vigorous yet balanced, this is a striking red that will not fall short of expectations.

Production method
The production method is strictly aimed at defending the territorial connotation.
Fermented in tapered oak vats, it is aged for 15 months, partly in new 600 liter demi muid and partly in once-used barriques. Finally, it is aged in the bottle for another 10 months.
