TASTING NOTES
Appearance (color): Intense red with purple highlights. Delicate yet intense.
Nose: Floral notes (violets), red fruit jam, subtly spiced, with hints of vanilla and chocolate.
Palate: Striking, balanced, and elegant; prominent notes of red fruits (strawberries, berries) in jam, along with black pepper in surprising harmony with the descriptors imparted by barrel aging (coffee, hazelnuts), smooth, velvety tannins, and a long, superb finish.
WINEMAKING
Manual harvest of selected grapes with careful sorting. Controlled fermentation and extended maceration to extract balanced fruit and structure. After primary fermentation, wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged 12 months in oak to develop complexity and integration of flavors.
