About this wine

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in the second half of September and pressed immediately. The must macerates for one week to develop colour and structure. Alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation both take place in stainless steel tanks at 25–27 °C.

Tasting profile

A bright, juicy, young wine with firm tannins and a rich aroma.

Serving and pairing

Pairs with meat dishes and cheeses.
